Alight on all things precious – PREPUB OFFER

Alight on all things precious is the latest collection by poet-artist Sarah Rice, weaving together ekphrastic poetry and luminous colour reproductions of both her own and others’ artwork.

As alert to the textures of making as it is sensitive to the nuances of human connection and loss, Sarah Rice’s work thinks with its fingertips, using its intelligence to register what, like dust, might scarcely seem substantial. With her, the term ekphrasis outgrows the bounds of writing-about-pictures, into a truly multidisciplinary creativity that lives in the weave of things, the freedom of the space between.
Philip Gross, winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize

Alight on all things precious is a constantly engaging journey across Sarah Rice’s unique creative output. As a long time admirer of her work, it is both a delightful and deeply moving experience to spend time with these poems and the visual works with which they are in conversation. Her achievement is impressive and her voice and vision are utterly her own.
Melinda Smith, winner of the Prime Minister’s Poetry Award
