sallow

<p>"sallow" continues a long sequence of poems about the languages<br />of trees "halse for hazel" (Shearsman 2014). "halse for hazel" began<br />on the hills of Exmoor and sallow explores low lying wetland<br />areas mapping political and environmental pressures. This sequence<br />includes a collaborative text with Harriet Tarlo and striking images by Irma Irsara.</p><p>‘I found her work a highly pleasant revelation at once<br />thoroughly alert and judged yet delightfully manic and farreaching<br />in its wildness risks and resultant freedoms’<br />David Morley Poetry Review</p><p>‘Presley’s work sleights the relationship between landscape and<br />language each deploying (or deployed) as markers for the<br />human eye.’<br />G.
