When we feel disconnected from the land, we feel unhappy - even if we don’t consciously realize it. When we hear about the toll our presence is taking on the earth - the pollution of its air, soil and waters, the extinction of species - we cannot bear it. So we often do one of several things: deny it, cover our ears, protest and/or try to live more sustainably by recycling, reducing our carbon footprint and buying local or organic produce. But even if we make these attempts, we wonder if they aren’t all too little, too late..... |
NEWLY AVAILABLE
my series of 50 sonnets 'Between Two Worlds' from Chrysalis Poetry. Each one of these booklets is handmade, and uses a layer of vellum to symbolize the 'mists' between the worlds, or the veil Perceval must pierce to complete the quest. See books/CDs for details. Here's one of the sonnets: So Clear, So Close I have always wanted to live here, where it is cool, where spaces merge, and sounding buoys call through fog, and the waves are rising in long green lines one after another; where wet pebbles jostle, sharp or rounded, and the layering of tidal lines form along the shore, and tall white boundless clouds glide past like sliding turrets holding storms, where creeks shivered silver with the current carve sandbanks and all around the presence of the sea reaches out its grey expanse freshening with tides, deep blue with intent how I knew in these ways it would appear so exactly secret, so close, so clear. |
