Reckoning with profound grief, and a country rife with 'Restrictions, recriminations . . .' - the poet finds the past visible everywhere on these grounds, where places come loaded with meaning across time - the deep past of archaeology, the weight of the personal-present, the reticent, uncertain future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn poems alive with familiar wildlife and the communities they move among - seabirds on the wing, the fishermen's daily catch - \u003ci\u003eNatural Burial Ground\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to our connections to landscapes, to family, the impact of climate change, pop music, wildlife and history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54205932896600,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781472158062_cf586fb5-eabf-42d8-a716-4704e0e320fb.jpg?v=1764414040","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/natural-burial-ground","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
