Will it work on my eReader?Using water as a contemplative device, this anthology examines themes of war, womanhood, time, and the environment. Individual poems focus on a range of topics—from the seemingly unremarkable contents of a bottle of spring water to the more global issue of rising ocean levels. Rain, drought, flood, thirst, rivers, and oceans inspire this thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between water and language.
“Gillian Clarke’s [poems] ring with lucidity and power . . . Clarke’s work is both personal and archetypal, built out of language as concrete as it is musical.” —Carol Ann Duffy, poet, The World’s Wife
