Listening to the Night by Jane Routh

Published 1st November 2018

Combining vivid, musical writing and acute perception of the natural world, and ranging across land and land art, birds, buildings and bodies, roads, trees and winds, Jane Routh’s distinctive poems investigate memory and the changes which overtake us all. In the face of environmental and personal loss Listening to the Night celebrates the moments of resilience “that keep mortality at bay”.
