In her newest collection, Sara Berkeley follows a number of sightlines: watching the landscape from the window of a plane, contemplating the effects of climate change, witnessing human vulnerability and resilience as a hospice nurse during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Her gaze traces the coastlines of the Pacific Ocean and moves with a coyote through the California desert to the Palio horse race in Sienna, a return to Ireland, and a migration to upstate New York. A marriage ends, forest fires spread, and a new love takes root in winter. Throughout, Berkeley maintains a tender awareness of the threats that surround us, especially for the children born into this increasingly uninhabitable world, as well as a keen appreciation of the passion and poetic insight we will all need to survive.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Poems in Sara Berkeley's newest collection (published previously in Ireland as The Last Cold Day) are alert to climate threat, conjuring memories of fires sending up 'their smoky prayers' and 'the ice [that] sings its long last song, / a requiem.' In Some of the Things I've Seen, Berkeley charts a move across America, from California to New York's Hudson Valley, from one climate to four seasons, navigating new love and marriage, as well as her life in the frontlines of the pandemic as a Hospice nurse, the lessons of the dying and the life that goes on'.
