FOREST

A beautifully made pamphlet of one long poem in three parts. Numbered edition, first 25 signed.

Forest recounts the legend of the black pine that was the first tree to arrive in the young woodland at Sladebank, where I have been working as a poet in residence. Told in free verse and fifty cinquains which accumulate through the pages to create a forest, this long poem explores the tree’s experience of migrating across Europe to set root in the woods at a time of escalating conflict and climate emergency.
