Description
A pocketful of nature poetry in all its green glory from the In the Moment series.
Taking time for nature poetry is an act of reverence for the natural world, and a path to understanding our part in it. The poems in this pocket-sized anthology will transport you, sending you into the garden, forests, mountains, and shores with searching hands and open eyes.
Through centuries of storytelling, nature poetry has shapeshifted through the major upheavals in our relationship with the landscapes, plants, and other species with whom we share the Earth. As our environment is destabilised and threatened by the climate crisis today, we find renewed meanings in these poems once again. They become sources of joy or hope, and catalysts for action.
Together, they show what we have in common across countries and centuries: an undeniable kinship with nature and a fierce will to protect it.
