The Wall-Menders by Kate Noakes
Without polemic or rant, Kate Noakes explores the themes of environmental damage and renewal. She uses imagined narratives to suggest our options to repair the planet and relearn how to live in harmony with it. This is poetry of subtlety, rich in its song and imagery. Central to the book is a sequence retelling one of the stories from Ovid’s Metamorphoses from a woman’s point of view.“Kate Noakes takes seriously the potential for poetry to change the worldThese are observant and imaginative poems, alert to the issues of the moment; they love the world, simple moments of weather, family life, work, landscape, the growing, preparing and relishing of food. Among the verbal jewels we are offered are lunkies, smoots, wieherts and dabbins.” ~ Gillian Clarke
