This Human Shape

Patches of Light

​"Close observation opens into magic in this humble and finely-crafted collection. This Human Shape joins the finest environmental literature in offering up a rich set of characters closely entwined with the creatures, plants and objects of the landscapes they dwell in."

​"In the poem 'Salmon fly Armada' Hanson could just
as well be describing the workings of the poems in Patches of Light: They swim to the top. They Wrestle with their skeletons. When the great bugs finish with the ordeal, they fly."
