    About this ebook

    Loss And Other Landscapes is a poetry collection that takes the themes of ancient and mythological pastoral poetry and brings them to the 21st century. This collection includes poems of loss and rebirth, of memory and identity, of life and death, as each relates to the experiences of the 21st century, most especially the Climate Crisis and other socio-political events. Filled with rich language and imagery, Loss And Other Landscapes endeavors to define the present with echoes of the past.
