Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
It has been mooted recently that the art of poetry is one that is dying. Not only is that a preposterous notion to bandy around but one that deserves contempt by all poets playing their trade for the one perfect sentence and certainly should be treated with scornful derision by anybody who takes the living, breathing sentences of Heath Common and pays them the same courtesy that one would pay the likes of Jack Kerouac. Poetry in such hands is not dead, it’s not resting, it is abundant and playing cerebral havoc as has Encounters with Light that Heath Common provides.
