An exhilarating leap into darkness: the new work of non-fiction from award-winning poet and writer Jean Sprackland

In her search for a new, more intimate relationship with darkness, acclaimed poet and writer Jean Sprackland confronts some of the deepest – and darkest – questions about who we are and our place in the world.

With glimmering prose that draws on memory and imagination, history and ecology, literature and myth, Night Vision is an expansive, thrilling journey into the true dark.

An elegant and deeply sensory exploration of darkness in all its forms (Katherine May, author of WINTERING)

Stylish and crammed with memorable details, Night Vision is the most lucid book about darkness you will ever read. (Robert Crawford, author of OLD WORLD)

An intimate, questing, and deeply moving collection of nocturnal encounters, Jean Sprackland’s Night Vision is a stellar polyphony of vespertine voice and story. Illuminating and lyrical, equal parts uncanny and comforting, but always curious and humane, this book is essential reading for anybody wishing to become better acquainted with the night. (Dan Richards, author of OVERNIGHT)

In this lyrical series of essays, Jean Sprackland falls in love with the dark... An evocative and ambitious study of a state that makes up half of human experience.

Evocative and intimate… [Sprackland] invite[s] us to step outside, switch off the lights and make peace with the night again
