In Vanishing Point, Colin Bancroft crafts a landscape of transience and endurance, where the natural and human worlds intertwine in moments both fleeting and timeless. From fields of forgotten industry to the resilient roots of a solitary beech, each poem navigates the tenuous interplay between decay and renewal. Bancroft's verses draw a map of vivid terrains-both physical and emotional-where the past seeps into the present, and the ordinary becomes profound. Through precise, unadorned language, the collection reveals an acute sensitivity to place, memory, and the quiet insistence of life persisting amidst loss.
