Point of Splitting

Discover the evocative world of Point of Splitting, the debut poetry collection by acclaimed poet Sally Read, published by Bloodaxe Books Ltd in 2005. This compelling volume spans 56 pages and takes readers on a journey from the stark realities of London's hospital wards to the serene landscapes of rural Italy and the expansive Great Plains.

Sally Read masterfully explores the emotional and physical boundaries we encounter in life—whether through acts of love, the tension of a trigger being pulled, or the moment a needle pierces the skin. Her poignant verses delve into the thresholds where we yield to desire, love, or grief, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences. Point of Splitting is a must-have for any poetry lover seeking to explore the depths of human emotion and connection.
