Description
Armour is John Kinsella's most spiritual and politically engaged work to date. In these poems, the natural world comes alive with vivid presence, as if the poet is uncannily inhabiting his subjects.
The poems explore the human relationship with nature, scrutinizing our place within it as both tenant and self-appointed steward. This beautifully varied work offers sharp ecological and social critique, yet also one of meticulous invocation and quiet astonishment.
