Description
That Which Appears gathers together four book-length sequences of poetry, each one a culmination of the author's practice of walking in Scotland's varied landscapes. The poems that make up this collection attempt to attend and respond to their surroundings, making 'small continual adjustments' as they seek to understand the world around them. The poet's concern is with the relationship between poetry and the natural world, and how it can be a force for care and attention rather than exploitation or harm. This is a book about the importance of slowing down and paying attention to the world we live in, and about finding ways to move through our environments with resourcefulness and minimal impact. Through its four sequences, That Which Appears explores the idea that poetry can provide spaces for contemplation and celebration, and that it has a role to play in responding to and repairing the damage we have done to the natural world.
