Description
Taking for her subject our human planet, or what Robert Lowell called 'this sweet volcanic cone', Alice Oswald has chosen 101 poems which map the border between the personal and natural worlds. Including poems by William Barnes, Robert Frost, John Clare, Gerald Manley Hopkins, W. H. Auden, Stevie Smith, Ted Hughes, Hugh MacDiarmid, John Ashbury, and many others, The Thunder Mutters: 101 Poems for the Planet casts its net worldwide, historically and geographically, engaging restlessly with the many-centred energies of the natural world.
Reviews
"'The wonderful Alice Oswald who, by rights, should be winning every prize going this year.' Carol Ann Duffy"
