The poet here, serving as witness to climate change while advocating for preservation and conservation, invites readers to open themselves to earth\'s suffering-to global sorrow-in order to transform and be transformed..
Rooted in truth, they zoom in closely on the negative effects of human activity before panning back out to celebrate earth\'s grand design.
Tinged with sorrow, they offer hope as they wring out lyrical beauty from the beleaguered yet resilient natural world.
Facing Aridity by Diana Woodcock features Poems inspired by research expeditions and residencies in Alaska, the Arctic Circle, the Everglades, and southern Africa; and by fifteen years spent living in Arabia.
