By turns romantic and realist, Bruce Pascoe explores the urgency of the contemporary climate crisis and the need to love Country in his haunting, slowburning and classical poetry style. This is startlingly vulnerable poetry to heal the earth, to navigate heartache and to provoke stillness and introspection.
