Synopsis

A sequence of poetry and prose poems. As the narrator in 'Grieving with the Animals', Polly Roberts takes her experience of exploring the natural world as a source of metaphor and imagery for grief and pain at the loss of a beloved person. She interweaves feelings of personal loss with her love of nature and her distress at the irrevocable ecological losses that the world is seeing. Animals, birds and their environment seem to echo and sympathise with human emotion, as the poems trace a path from innocence, through memories of happiness, to tragedy and mourning, arriving at a kind of peace and acceptance at last
