Eyes in the Wood

<p>Eleanor Rees' <em>Eyes in the Wood: Occasional Prose</em> is a meditative and exploratory collection that considers poetry as a situated permeable practice grounded in place ecology and attention. Moving between reflective essay lyric fragment and critical enquiry Rees develops a poetics that is both relational and speculative drawing on lived experience myth and ecological thought. Her prose resists academic fixity favouring instead a dynamic processual mode of thinking that unfolds through landscape memory and sensory perception. The result is a richly textured work that approaches language as a means of encounter-open-ended affective and materially bound.</p>
