description: Laura (Riding) Jackson, renounced poetry in mid-life because it hampered the way to something 'further' in language. Divided into 62 numbered sections, this book stands central to her work. It articulates that language needs to be precise and unambiguous, and that human fulfilment should be attainable through truth-speaking.
