Processional is Anne Compton's second book of poems, the
follow-up to her widely-acclaimed, award-winning debut, Opening the Island.
Here Compton is at the head of a poetic procession, a guide leading readers
through a house affected by both daily life and the extraordinary - stopping only to take in the change of seasons and prepare the outside yard for it. With
one breath, she tells of life and death, with the next, play and metaphysics, joy and heartbreak. She is a guide like no other, accomplished and versatile, leading by example and from a distance at the same time.
