"Everywhere the Light Lands," is an artful record of fragmentary noticings, formed of intense blips of direct observation that seek to approach the mystery of the present through the resurrection of concrete detail. As frail ceremonies of an immeasurable continuum, these poems draw upon the inner beat and inherent richnesses of the revelatory, and often overlooked, ever-divulging landscapes we move through. In utilising a notational poetics as relating to everyday experience, Jake Metcalfe's poems largely take place and serve as homage to the quiet town of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, where he spent his first five post-university years and to the city of Bradford where he grew up. It is from among the people and sights of these fertile places that Jake's poems ushered forth like discreet roadside flowers. A Jabber Publication #15
