This book marks the UK debut of Canadian poet Sheri Benning, featuring new poems alongside work previously published in Canada. Benning's early work draws on her strongly felt connection to her native landscape, rural Saskatchewan. In poems that couple sinew and roots, blood and sap, skin and stone, Benning explores an ecology of affiliation between humans and the natural world. The poems are also alive to the quiet intimacies between father and daughter, mother and child, between siblings and between lovers. Benning's later work travels further afield - to Russia, New Mexico, Scotland - but always the physical landscape is entwined with memory, the landscapes of the mind.
SHERI BENNING grew up on a small farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. She's since travelled widely. She has published two collections of poetry in Canada, Thin Moon Psalm (Brick Books) and Earth after Rain (Thistledown Press). Her poetry, essays and fiction have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including New Poetries V (Carcanet, 2011). She divides her time between Glasgow, and Saskatchewan.
