Description
Charlotte Eichler's first collection, Swimming Between Islands, presents a unique world of weathered landscapes and isolated lives. Poems explore our attempts to connect with others despite misunderstandings, family silences, and unwanted legacies. In this substantial collection, Eichler gathers her earlier work alongside new poems that expand on the themes of connection and isolation. Her poetry often takes a plural perspective, blurring the lines between individual consciousnesses. The result is an invitation to immerse oneself in the poem's centre, where the boundaries between self and others begin to dissolve. The book progresses towards increasingly wild and isolated places, from Scotland to Alaska, where 'we are found'. With its distinctive voice and atmospheric landscapes, Swimming Between Islands invites readers to slow down and engage with Eichler's astonishing poems.
