Rachael Stanley’s thoughtful and considered debut collection ‘Back To Infinity’ speaks to us from a hard-earned place of compassionate distance. Here is a poet who has alchemised her life experience to produce work that honours the here and now and points to what lies beyond. Whether writing about the complexity and contradictions of familial relationships, the interplay between the ego and the self, our desire for true freedom, the solace of nature or the challenges of technology, these honest and appreciative poems celebrate what it means to be fully alive, to pay attention to the god in every detail – in the midst of potato skins glistening shiny and wet. With its fresh language, range of topics and a wide variety of styles and forms, ‘Back To Infinity’ is a collection that will keep its many readers happily curled up on the sofa for hours.
