Description

Seasonal Disturbances explores the complex relationships between nature, the city and the self in the 21st century.

This charged yet meditative collection of poetry is set against a backdrop of ecological, political and emotional turbulence. Written from the perspective of an interrupted zuihitsu on board a Dutch barge on the Thames, it repositions the river as sacred space in rapidly gentrifying London.

The book features innovative forms such as the golden shovel and gram of &s, prose/poetry hybrids, found sonnets and landays, alongside lyrical language that critiques societal power structures. A powerful exploration of activism, love and renewal, Seasonal Disturbances aims to inspire a deeper connection with forces of nature.
