Description

Earth House by Matthew Hollis is a moving meditation on time and the transformative phases of nature. This collection of poems explores how our most intimate moments resonate in the wider cycle of life, drawing on the landscapes, languages, and ecologies of Britain and Ireland. Through its use of Anglo-Saxon verse, Norse and Celtic myth, stoicism, and far-eastern wisdom, Earth House offers a subtle yet powerful exploration of the turning world. The poems open with the passing of an old life and culminate in the birth of a new one, bravely working the seam between the present and the past. This quietly magnificent book is a testament to Hollis's skill as a poet, making language an event in itself. With its thoughtful and evocative exploration of humanity and our environment, Earth House is a timely and thought-provoking read.
