Description

Book Synopsis
Walking the Animals is a sort of travel book: it brings together inner and outer landscapes, the wet skies of the Pennines and the drought of the South African lowveld; landscapes of loss, landscapes of longing. Carola Luther tracks journeys between disparate worlds, between north and south, earth and air, fantasy and fact, the future, the present. Her poems explore dislocation and search, and the importance of relationship in establishing a sense of place. In her first collection, Carola Luther makes a new kind of space in poetry, both impassioned and level-headed.

Trade Review
'Walking the Animals marks the arrival of a wonderful new poet. Carola Luther's poems are startlingly original, sensual and true, with imagery as tangible as the world it makes new for us. Her sense of place, and of the unbreakable connections between our inner and outer worlds, is remarkable, and the rich language of the poems is sourced not only in integrity, but in a sense of love. Read her' Carol Ann Duffy
