Gaps in the Light uses form in innovative ways to express deeply the experience of loss and joy in ways I can’t remember reading anywhere else. Nothing is binary here – everything feels multidimensional, so perfectly complicated, like echoes off multiple surfaces. It’s simply astounding!~ Pip Adam, author of Nothing to See, The New Animals, I’m Working on a Building, and Everything We Hoped For *** To read this work is to enter the forest as an elemental being, and then feel the loss of that forest. The lover, the bereft and the broken are here. It’s a journey of close attention, pain, rage and truth revealed as the path is taken. Gaps in the Light is compassionate, deeply chanted music.
~ Kirstie McKinnon, author of Songs from the Water *** Gaps in the Light burns with fierce emotion; multiple voices float in and out until the whole text becomes hypnotic and taut ... revealing the depths, nuances and complexities of love in all its forms with an utterly-earned intensity. Iona Winter asks you to stare directly into her eyes ... be warned, she won’t blink first.
~ Helen Lehndorf, author of The Comforter and Write to the Centre
