Description
Of Sea is a poetic bestiary that brings to life the creatures living beneath, beside and above the water. In 46 poems, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett explores the world of wetlands, salt marshes and the intertidal zone, capturing the beauty of cockles and clams, rare moths and humble earwigs.
With a precise and dynamic lyric that seems always on the verge of music, Burnett's poems shimmer with intellectual acuity and emotional resonance. This innovative collection is a powerful exploration of our relationship with the natural world.
