A poetry reading

indwelling is Gillian Allnutt’s eighth collection and is published by Bloodaxe. In poems that move in and out of silence, she explores the manifestations of the Spirit – now fleet, now halt – tracing it back through the familiar world of Christianity to its roots in the shamanic.
‘What is most attractive about her work is that she is never solemn about the spiritual life which fascinates her.’ Helen Dunmore, Observer
