Intertwined with this central theme are many other journeys – of individuals and communities through time, mortality, friendship, resistance, motherhood, and hope – in a lyrically skilful, and dynamic debut collection.Deltas reveals a poetics on high alert, where the ‘tireless human sonar’ scans a compromised world for calamity and grace. In her vision of precarity and connectedness, attention might prove the opposite of surveillance: a tender, sober act of keeping faith with the ethical force of exact expression.Rushforth’s poems are provisional landscapes, like river deltas, where with language both sidelong and luminous she suggests a way of seeing and measuring distances – temporal, spatial, political – that opens a route not only to individual survival but to humane dialogue and the hope of community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781913513214.
