How can we communicate the unspeakable, illuminate the shadow realms of our society and intersecting social / ecological crises, whilst negotiating our own loves, losses, responsibilities? In ecofeminist poems written over a decade, the personal is situated within the larger social/geopolitical structures that circumscribe our lives, with themes of resistance, regeneration and co-creation with non-human nature offering a beacon for these turbulent times.
