Of Ochre and Ash

Of Ochre and Ash

Of Ochre and Ash, Eleanor Hooker’s third collection of poems, lends to her familiar themes of family, place and memory a trademark uncanny, even otherworldly atmosphere, in which the glimpsed, the intuited and the half-known provide a great deal of the interest. The desire to “see my home from the other side” is a constant, but so too is immersion in the moment and, indeed, the ever-present nearby “darkening lake”.
