Description
The Slain Birds by Michael Longley Michael Longley's new collection takes its title from Dylan Thomas - 'for the sake of the souls of the slain birds sailing'. This poignant and powerful poem is just one of many that explore our impact on the natural world, where creatures both dead and alive are woven into a complex cosmic ecological scheme. The poems in The Slain Birds encompass themes of death, war, and environmental degradation, yet also celebrate the beauty and diversity of life. Longley's unique voice weaves together images of birds, crafts, and the human experience to create a rich tapestry of poetry. Through his work, Longley invites us to consider our place within the natural world and the consequences of our actions. With its interlacing lyrics and diverse imagery, The Slain Birds is a thought-provoking and deeply moving collection that will resonate with readers.
