Description
Book SynopsisAn endangered right whale attempting to nurse her new calf in the December ocean, foxgloves blooming in different places from year to year, or the rescue of imperiled Kemp's ridley sea turtles – the bounty and cruelty of nature infuses this latest collection of poems from Brendan Galvin, which takes as its maxim finding the extraordinary in the ordinary all around us.
Trade Review"I admire Galvin’s choice of details, his love and knowledge of the natural world is so keen and fulsome that he finds precise language for everything he encounters. [...] There is beauty and wisdom and humour in these poems. [...] I really enjoyed reading and reviewing Egg Island Almanac, and I'm going to read some more of Galvin’s poetry." — Pulsar Poetry
