An Ear to the Earth
is a sequence of 14 poems
written from the point of view of fields, soil, seeds,
animals, plants and trees.
1000 Years
A group of oak trees give an account
of their lives over a millennium.
Field Songs
Takes the form of a series of parallel
monologues between the present and former
owner of a house and piece of land in Croatia.
These monologues occupy similar ‘spiritual’
space if not temporal.
Collectively, these four works entitled, earth then earthen,
explore identity and the nature of one’s
relationships to and presence in the natural
environment.
