Description
Green Noise is a collection of poems that tune into the hidden frequencies of the world. By investigating the natural world and our place within it, Jean Sprackland seeks to understand what is audible and available to be known.
The poems in this collection are attempts at location - in time, in place, in language - and explore the worlds within worlds, such as oak-apples and aphid-farms. They also delve into fragments of a mythic past, lost haunts of childhood and abandoned villages, seeking to recall shared histories that are only partially remembered.
These poems are deeply engaged with the flux of the world, alert and precise in their observations, listening for the sounds of spring and the long bones of trees stretching and cracking. With its vivid language and nuanced exploration of the natural world, Green Noise is a collection that will resonate with readers.
