A variety of styles and topics

Steven Heighton is a poet well worth becoming acquainted with. He uses a wide variety of styles and techniques - mixing and matching as necessary to meet his purposes. Serious, playful, religious, 'scandalous' - he is equally at home. Beneath it all is a significant understanding of loss and love. These are not poems in which particular turns of phrase catch your attention; rather it is the poem as a whole that creates the strong impression. Use the "look inside" option to get a taste of his style.
