Terrier, Worrier - Paperback

by Anna Jackson (Author)

A luminous exploration of thought by one of our most distinguished poets. "If sometimes I think of thoughts as being behind the eyes, sometimes I think of them more as floating, in a kind of cloud around the outside of my head." Part autobiography of thought, part philosophical tract, part poetics, a book about chickens and family and seasons, Terrier, Worrier is a literary sequence to be relished as language and as thought.
