The Last Lighthouse in Rising Seas by Helen Moore
Palewell Press Ltd
How can we communicate the unspeakable, illuminate the shadow realms of our society and intersecting social / ecological crises, whilst negotiating our own loves, losses, responsibilities? In ecofeminist poems written over a decade, the personal is situated within the larger social/geopolitical structures that circumscribe our lives, with themes of resistance, regeneration and co-creation with non-human nature offering a beacon for these turbulent times. 'This is a stunning collection which takes an unflinching stare at the dark heart of fossil-fuel addiction and its calamitous effects on life, while also discovering a glimmer of light that could lead to a better future.' " Professor Arran Stibbe, University of Gloucestershire 'Helen Moore is a poet of the luminous present and a precursor of ecopoetics. Helen was writing whole collections of ecopoetry long before there were prizes dedicated to it. When asked by the public for contemporary poets writing about the natural world, Helen Moore is the first on our list of recommendations.' - Chris McCabe, Poet and Head Librarian, National Poetry Library
