Acres of Light by Katherine Gallagher Poetry and confused – as lovers"Katherine Gallagher's new collection is bejewelled throughout with haiku like moments of vivid observation. Her delighted responses in particular to the natural world serve to peel away the film of familiarity through which we usually gaze. Yet Gallagher combines such excited observation with a quality of restraint, a respect for what she encounters in a process of self creation "from myself into myself" as her epigraph from Rose Auslander puts it.
