Publisher: Two Rivers Press
The Colour of Rain is Susan Utting's fifth full collection, following her New and Selected, Half the Human Race. Here, she showcases a newfound intimacy with the natural world, a closeness that leads her to become an integral part of it. She becomes a Willow Sister, joins an avenue of poplars, engages in conversations with bees. While nature is joyfully celebrated, poems also lament its losses: felled trees, disappearing species, and Rachel Carson's all-too-present Silent Spring. The poet's trademark musicality and dancing rhythms are evident throughout the collection's four sections. Her fascination with language, its sounds and resonances, demonstrates reviewer Philip Gross's comment that Utting unashamedly loves language, and it seems to love her back.
