In Landmarks the little things are glittering moments that lead to variety of weighty awakenings.

Hand-picked by award-winning writer, critic and academic, Cassandra Atherton. Cassandra is currently a Harvard Visiting Scholar in English. Her most recent books of prose poetry are Trace (Finlay Lloyd, 2015) and Exhumed (Grand Parade, 2015).
