A Point of Love

by Christopher Hedley-Dent

“The bright moon, snagged in the spokes of the London Eye, will soon slip into night’s pocket.”

from After the Concert

A Point of Love gathers poems written over four decades alongside a career as an artist and teacher. In this collection, Hedley-Dent combines with great effect a deep appreciation of place with the painter’s gaze.

“This is a beautiful collection of sensitively observed moments – the poet is an especially acute witness to family and friendships and their unspoken depths of connection.”

Richard Price

“All the poems here feel like gentle lessons in compassion and open-heartedness.
a well-crafted book that quickly becomes the best kind of friend.”

Sarah Salway
