Then by Alison Brackenbury
In her latest collection, Alison Brackenbury draws on her lifetime's experience of rural England, its people, and its ways. From the lapwings of her childhood Lincolnshire to the recent floods in Gloucestershire and the signs of a changing climate, the poems reach urgently to both past and future. Keenly aware of both the beauty and the harshness of the natural world, Brackenbury reminds us of our own fragility and responsibility.
'Brackenbury loves, lives, hymns and rhymes the natural world and its people like no other poet' Gillian Clarke
