Trees Before Abstinent Ground by Peter Larkin
Larkin's poems lure the reader to attend to the incarnational alterity of trees. Through saturated language, the reader encounters trees' vertical customs and feral horizons, as they engage with the habit and culture of light.
Peter Larkin was born in the New Forest and has spent most of his life either haunted by trees or the gaps (heathland or urban) between them. From an Anglo-French background, his work has been influenced as much by post-war French poetry as it has been by American Modernism. For much of his career he was Philosophy & Literature Librarian at Warwick University.
