Description
The Floodmeadow is a searing and evocative collection of poetry that conjures a world in turmoil. Toby Martinez de las Rivas weaves together fragments of memory, history, and observation to create a landscape of collision and disintegration. In these incantatory pieces, the boundaries between nature and human experience blur, revealing a world teeming with life and sound. From the majestic moorhen to the resilient dragonfly, each creature is imbued with a sense of wonder and vulnerability. Meanwhile, human relationships are fleeting and vulnerable, captured in moments both ecstatic and dark. This visionary collection invites us to consider the beauty and abundance that can be found in the present moment, even in the midst of chaos and upheaval.
