Description
Swims by Elizabeth-Jane Burnett is a debut poetry collection that explores the relationship between landscape, memory and the self. Spanning England and Wales, the poet's meditations take many forms, from urban ponds to open seas. Through innovative language and imagery, Burnett probes the impact of our surroundings on our inner lives. This sinuous and personal work is also deeply political, examining what the natural world takes away as much as it gives us. A powerful exploration of the human spirit, Swims reminds us of the transformative power of nature and its ability to shape our experiences.
