Recensioner i media

Monika Szuba focuses on the significance of ‘the natural world’ for each of her chosen poets. Throughout the variety of work discussed, the valuable pressure of concern which unites the poets in a common purpose is clear. This is a vital contribution to our understanding of modern poetry and to what Scotland might yet be.
