Paperback. Condition: New. Bridget Khursheed's interest is in ecopoetry and the teetering intersections between landscape (or the shape of things), nature and population. Her new collection, The Last Days of Petrol, centres on how we cannot imagine that the world as we know is about to change in personal, political or global terms. Summed up in a couple of quotes: one from George Eliot -- "A man will tell you that he has worked in a mine for forty years unhurt by an accident as a reason why he should apprehend no danger, though the roof is beginning to sink; and it is often observable, that the older a man gets, the more difficult it is to him to retain a believing conception of his own death." And one that is included in the collection itself from Hugh MacDiarmid -- "It is a frenzied and chaotic age, Like a growth of weeds on the site of a demolished building." We continue to search for our homes and perhaps that will transform our relationship to earth.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Exact Colour of Snow articulates a complicit, playful commentary on our mundane interactions with the natural world. Notes, fragments and glimpsed biographies explore how we ignore our fragile landscape even while grounded in its rhythms, shapes and colours. Skeining through the fashion and factories of global import export and dye making, we travel back to soil, plants and animals. A route that offers different harvests: clearing bombs to erect North Sea windmills in the Mesolithic sludge of Doggerland, unseasonal Abbotsford oranges, and the production of fine leather for golf gloves from hairsheep in Yemen and North Africa. Behind the scenes in these poems, the excluded - often mothers or young women - observe and study to understand the whole shape of things. The final colour of snow in this collection is green. Exact Colour of Snow follows Bridget Khursheed's debut, The Last Days of Petrol, which was hailed by Joyce McMillan, of The Scotsman, as ".brave, brilliant and chilling poetry, which almost forces a recognition of the new precarity of human life on earth".…
