About this listen

Sparks is the third collection of passionate, poignant poetry from much-loved Hull-based writer Norah Hanson. The fiery wit and hard-won wisdom that characterized her previous collections are here, intact, with a new level of clarity and purpose adding weight to the words, without losing the warmth, wonder, and laugh-out-loud observational skills that have won Norah an army of fans across the world.

Six-times a great-grandmother, the poet's life experience shines throughout, shedding light on triumphs and struggles past, illuminating our troubled (and frequently ridiculous) present, and nodding towards sources of hope for the future.

The "sparks" are cast into the night sky from a VE day bonfire, they "dance in the spaces between solid matter", and they are the poems themselves, flashes of brilliance to be cherished for decades to come.
