Sensual, vivid poems exploring love, nature and the strange power of language to shape how we see the world. Watercolours in Words is the first English language collection by established Romanian poet Ella Leyland. These poems are sensual, succinct, and at times surprising and surreal. They consider love in its many colours, and how sympathies between love and the instinct to write are reflected and refracted within the natural world. Leyland paints with words how light and shadow continually surround and are shaped by us, how words living within and outside of us define our experiences of reality, and how we are both constrained and freed by our relationship with language(s) and the craft of writing.
