We Could Be Anywhere By Now

In her second collection, We Could Be Anywhere by Now, Katherine Stansfield brings us poems about placement and displacement, full of both wry comedy and uneasy tension. Stints in Wales, Italy, and Canada, plus return trips to her native Cornwall, all spark poems delighting in the off-key, the overheard, the comedy, and pathos of everyday life. "“Katherine Stansfield's imagination uses logic and rhythm to push her poems into surprise'" Gwyneth Lewis "Here is carefully considered, accessible writing; simultaneously instinctual and reasoned." - London Grip " To read [Katherine Stansfield] is to be submerged in her experiences, to be offered a portal into someone else's sensibility.' - Wales Arts Review
