Naturally It Is Not: A Poem in Four Letters

Callie Gardners debut collection Naturally it is not: a poem in four letters is a remarkable work written between the Spring Equinox of 2016 and the Spring Equinox of 2017. It is a work that moves between form, part lyric, part manifesto, part essay. Gardners poetry here is a truly unique blend of avant-garde rhetoric, utopian politics, and elemental alchemy. A timely work that engages anew with the natural and the cultural in an era marked by the increasing irrelevance of the four-season cycle of the year under climate change.
