- Book Synopsis
- Journeys Across Breath collects poems from the extraordinary career of one of the UK's most significant poets, Stephen Watts. Gathering all of Watts' published works between 1975 and 2005 - as well as a number of unpublished pieces appearing here for the very first time - this collection is an astonishing journey through the life and eyes of a remarkable writer of people and place.This long-awaited volume presents the breadth of Watts' writing, from early prose poems, through long narrative sequences, fragmentary episodes, and later poetic meditations - all in Watts' unmistakable voice. A writer of both the intensely personal and deeply-felt universal, Watts' poetry charts familial histories, friendships, and encounters, set in both remote, rural landscapes across Europe and the changing, urban environs of East London.
