Prepare for some adventures in Perihelion. These poems evoke shifting states of mind and heart, from childhood terrors to the wisdom of the mystic, with all the twists of love, doubt and insight which come in between. There are monsters in this collection (but are they generated by science-fiction or the psyche?); there is grace, there is art, and there is longing. In her writing, Sarah Law traces the dynamics of relationship and of solitude, pushing lyric poetry to a playful complexity, but allowing the poignancy of our human condition to flow through each poem. Perihelion is Sarah Law's third collection.

"Sarah Law's work lives between experiment and lyric, the avant-garde and the mainstream, welcoming all with open ears and eyes. Informed by mystery as much as by mastery of form, her work sings in the dark and glows in the silence. She is an astonishing and original voice, whose poetry always entices and delights." ( Rupert Loydell )
