PALEWELL PRESS

Balancing the Elements by Helen Boyles is a poetry collection that grew out of reflection on movements in nature and our human connection with those movements. The first part of the collection celebrates nature’s variety and our intimacy with it while registering its vulnerability. The latter part of the collection focuses more closely on human experience with additional reflections on human movements within physical space and historical time. Within this broader context, the whole acknowledges a natural and human independency which we ignore at the risk of destabilising the balance essential to survival.
