Description
Tess Taylor's poems are a rich and severe meditation on connection and time. Written over the course of a year spent working on a small farm, these 28 poems explore the intersection of work, self, food, and place.
Against a backdrop of global crisis and social upheaval, Taylor reflects on the simple act of tending to a garden, seeking meaning in the cycles of nature. Her poetry is threaded with references to classical poets Hesiod, Virgil, and John Clare, offering a nuanced exploration of the human experience.
This collection is a powerful exploration of the complexities of life, work, and the natural world.
