Only one Earth

<p>A collection that is at once intimate and planetary playful and apocalyptic; where crows outwit humans bears raid bakeries; all the while oceans rise forests collapse and yet a butterfly still lands trustingly on a thumb like 'the prow of an ark.' At once elegy and love letter fable and protest this collection brims with subversive humour and urgent beauty: both lullaby and alarm bell. Farrington's language bends light like a prism: sometimes daring as voicing the feelings of Ice Age animals sometimes searing as the sound of a vanishing nightingale. <em>Only one Earth</em> is a reckoning - lyrical witty unflinching - a plea to prevent people from becoming a plague of locusts upon the Earth.</p><p>- Erwin Arroyo Perez Founder and EIC of The Poetry Lighthouse</p><p></p><p>A wonderful thought-provoking collection of poems about our planet - from exploration of Nature and the human experience - to reflections on the role of humans in the planetary crisis. I particularly valued the Stewardship and Beyond poems for their challenge and vision.</p><p>- Carolyn Stephens Professor of Ecology & Global Health University College London/London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine/University of Primorska</p><p></p>
