Wander by Sophie Cooke
"...in the crook of the dark days' elbow, the lake ice glows: thick, white, almost a light source. When else can a barrier become your roadway?†Sophie Cooke's poems combine landscapes from the Swedish winter with the Water of Leith in Edinburgh, two places where the author walked and reflected as part of an inner journey of recovery. They come from the place we enter when we let our bodies speak, and we have time to listen. The repetition of the simple physical activity of walking, combined with the gently changing scenery of nature within which she walked, made an environment where it was possible to face fear and begin to heal. It was not a pilgrimage but a wander. This deftly formed sequence of poems takes its readers on a wander too.
