Letter to the Earth and Other Poems is a collection of poems addressing the political struggle for alternative futures.
The collection comprises eight short poems, in free verse and regular schemes.
The first poems were written following an initial invitation to present something at a Culture Declares Emergency event in Walcot Chapel, in the city of Bath (UK) in 2019. The last three were penned in 2020.
The initial sequence was published online by myself, and by Red Line Artworks. The work was ‘Highly Commended’ in Red Line Artworks Annual Awards in 2019. The last three were published by myself in 2020.
