<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14.0pt;">How does place
influence your poetry? How do we create poems that are anchored in the senses
yet are free to explore inner or imagined places? </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Imagination-based poetry moves away from the
traditional approach to writing poetry and, through dreams, the unconscious and
surrealism, allows the writer to create space for the imagination to explore,
invent and roam.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>November 1st 2018:</b> Another lively event, with a good turn-out of over 35 people, including guest poets. Poems read ranged from Hurricane Sandy, an Italian landslide, graves of babies, WWI, dogs, climbing, the Black Country, Dunbarton, poems written in response to Brantwood, to the North country, Morecambe Bay, Germany, poems read from three anthologies: Waymaking (Vertebrate Press), Watch the Birdie (Beautiful Dragons Press) and This Place I Know (Handstand Press) and many many more... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;">On the Poetry Evening Brantwood 2017:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So, November 2nd 2017 saw the
second Poetry Evening, Open Mic and Supper at <a href="http://geraldinegreensaltroad.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/november-3rd-2016-poetry-pie-and-pea.html">Brantwood Poetry Evening</a>. Last year poets came from all
around Cumbria, and I think the word must’ve got about because this year was as
well attended, if not better, than 2016.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Poets from Cumbria,
Yorkshire, Lancashire, Scotland, Spain via Wigton and France via Grange over
Sands all gathered in the warm and friendly ambience in Brantwood’s newly
refurbished Terrace Café.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Guest poets who read
alongside me were Graham Mort, Kerry Darbishire and Kim Moore. I’ve known
Graham for ages! Not only was he my MA supervisor but also my PhD. And some of
the poems I read had been carefully crafted and discussed before reaching the
publishing stage. He's a brilliant poet and great to co-tutor with - we co-tutor residential writing courses at <a href="http://geraldinegreensaltroad.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/midsummer-poetry-june-22-24-2018.html">Brantwood</a> - I owe him a lot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Kerry’s one of the Write on
the Farm group who meet once a month near Kirkby Lonsdale at a poet-farmer friend’s farm (now that's a tongue-twister!) Like Graham she's a fine poet and friend. Kim’s a familiar face on the
poetry scene and was instrumental in setting up the first Kendal LitFest. It
was great fun co-hosting an open mic night with her for the first Dalton Litfest two
days after Brantwood – I’m poeted out! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">An anthology of long poems
from several pages in length to almost epic proportions, this anthology
republishes Brian Johnstone's poem sequence <i>Robinson</i> (originally
published as a pamphlet in 2000). The long but by no means traditional poems,
by contemporary voices all tell a story, sometimes in a straightforward
purposeful way, sometimes in a roundabout oblique way, but always with a thread
of narrative woven through. Contributors include Angela France, Geraldine
Green, Inua Ellams and Kate Foley.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Her poetry has been widely anthologised in the UK,
US and Italy and translated into German and Romanian. She was invited to a talk at the Lawrence Durrell Centenary Celebrations, Corfu and to present a
Paper on ‘Ecopoetics: <b>The Works of John Clare and Aldo Leopold’</b> in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the <a href="http://www.southwestpca.org/">South West Popular Culture America</a></span></div>

was a day of two halves.</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> Set off from home
around 8.45am amid squally rain, wind, wind, rain, more squalls and did I
mention rain? … headed off to <a href="https://www.cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/nature-reserves/south-walney">South Walney, Cumbria Wildlife Trust's Nature Reserve</a> that lies at the very
southerly tip of Walney Island, northwest England. I was leading a full-day outdoor
poetry workshop - oh yes, us poets do crazy things! And I’m thinking: will
anyone turn up? Well, if not, I know I'll enjoy myself at Cumbria Wildlife
Trust’s Reserve, whatever the weather flings.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">People did turn up. Poets I know from other
workshops I run, mainly my monthly Write on the Farm ones. They came from
Bolton, Rhos-on-Sea, Ripon, Sedbergh, France (by way of Grange-over-Sands) and
Kirkby Lonsdale, with apologies from writers from Warrington, Kendal, Richmond
and Lancaster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Each of us had a tale to tell of the cattle we'd met on the track as we drove in. A herd of 60 or so, fine looking cows, frisky calves and a magnificent bull,
complete with brass ring, that stood rock-still on the narrow road to the
reserve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bellowing, frisking, ponderous
older cattle, wind-excited youngsters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Would they bother us? Should we be
concerned? In a moment of synchronicity the farmer turned up in his Landrover,
to ask if Sarah the Warden of the reserve was around. She wasn’t, but a couple
of other staff were there in her place. I took the opportunity to ask the
farmer if the cattle were umm friendly? “Couldn’t get a gentler lot of cattle
than these” he said… well, ok!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I’d planned the day to coincide with the
high tide of 1.50pm, knowing from past experience that grey seals swim into
Lighthouse Bay, but which I call Seal Bay, to fish and play on the incoming
tide. We gathered around in a huddle of over-trousers, waterproof
boots, kags, hats, gloves, flask of hot drinks - yes, for although it was 16th
June, sweeping rain and wind pouring in off the Irish Sea, plus the misty
sea-fret, made for a chilly day. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I pointed out sights they could see if
it wasn’t so mist grey… over there’s Black Combe, in front of it BAE
Systems covered nuclear submarine dock, to the right of Black Combe lie the mighty
Scafells, right again, when it’s clear, you can see Dow Crag, Coniston Old
Man, Fairfield, Kidsty Pike, Pen-y-Ghent, Heysham power station. I stopped.
Faces turned towards me silently said ‘yeah yeah, we believe you’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">So we set off, heads down into the
wind. I’d planned a series of stopping places, ‘point to points’ where, if
the weather had been clement, we’d stop, read a poem, then give writing prompts
based around place and poem. For example, Katrina Porteous’
poem ‘Dunstanburgh’, ‘Yellow-Horned Poppy’ by Vicki Feaver, ‘Sandpiper’,
Elizabeth Bishop… however, as it was a flinging down morning of horizontal rain, we ploughed on to the hide overlooking Seal Bay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The tide, a 9.6 metre, would fill
the small Bay this hide overlooked. But, as it was still early on and the tide yet to come in, we discarded
wet clothes, got out binocs. and cameras, opened the hide windows and peered out through mist and rain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">You could see Piel Island, ghostly ruins
of its Castle, see hundreds of oystercatchers to the right of the hide, down on
the marsh grass and sand that would be covered with tide later on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, over on the long shingle spit, where
later seals would haul out and rest, were the cattle, rain-blurred
silhouettes. As the bay filled, one by one came the bobbing heads of grey seals. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Look! There’s one! Oh, see, there’s three of
them over there! Want to borrow my binocs.? Thanks. Yes.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">As the sea came in along the, at first
narrow channel in front of us, a bellowing came from the cattle on the shingle
spit. First, the bull gave voice, loud, urgent… his bass notes taken up by
cows. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">They must know the tide’s coming
in!</i> We said to one another in amazement. Then it was a forget the seals, look at the cattle crossing from shingle spit to mud bank below us…. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

wended their way down the mud bank on the far side, into the incoming tide,
only hock deep, so they were fine. Then, sedately, cows and calves plodded up
the mudbank towards us. It was like watching a documentary on wildebeest. The
bull watched then took up position in the centre of the herd. The calves were
skittish and leaped through the tide like pups. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

a little more to the left of the stream of cattle, where the water was deeper.
Well! Her calf bounded as if it was on springs through the tide. Tail up in the
air, to the other side.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

the bellowing, splashing, determined plod up the mudbank… and us knowing that
across Morecambe Bay is Heysham Nuclear Power Station, Onshore Gas stations at
Barrow, BAE-built nuclear powered submarines, wind farms, and, round the
corner from Black Combe, Sellafield. And there’s us, witnessing the procession
of what poet-farmer Jane told us were Beef Shorthorns, and yes, thankfully docile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

processing back down the track towards the nature reserve centre and car park.
We sighed, still in the throes of what we’d just heard and seen through mist

We read from poems I’d planned to read at various points around the reserve.
Due to the wildness of the weather we voted to do some writing, have lunch in
the hide, then later venture down to benches near the Groyne Hide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lunched. Then it was out to brave the still teeming down rain and Irish Sea
westerly wind. We didn’t stay long at the Groyne Hide, where seals fish on the
outgoing tide; where the sea rushes out of the Bay; where fierce cross-currents
crash against each other and the old stone groyne; where seals muscle-power
their way back from open water to shingle spit, for haul out and
rest.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

look at horned poppies. Later, when back at the picnic benches where we enjoyed
hot drinks, blue sky, sunshine, more sandwiches and flapjacks, I asked for
volunteers to read poems I’d brought. Poems about ‘sandpipers’, ruined
castles (Dunstanburgh), ‘yellow horned-poppies’, 'on being a lake' (I suggested
they imagine what it would be like to be the sea), poems on ‘what the water
gave me’, ‘sea to the west’, ‘between mountain and sea’ and ‘song of Caedmon’… <o:p></o:p></span><br />

open air, looking at the outgoing tide, listening to oyster catchers, eiders,
herring gulls, looking at Piel, bathed in sunlight now, at the fells, at Black
Combe below which poet Norman Nicholson lived at Millom, sniffing salt-laden
air, enjoying the sound of poets’ voices, warm wind, and pleasure in each other’s
company, having shared the fierceness of skin-wetting wind and rain... </span><br />

oystercatchers, viper’s bugloss purple-blue spikes pushing through… all this, and the strange (to me) juxtaposition of wildlife living

whose bases, I’m told, are home to barnacles…all in the presence of wide sky and the Irish Sea.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

cropped grass, I can barely make you out. Imagination makes up for what the
failing eyes cannot see and the ramrod backbone refuses to bend to be grasped.
That blur of yellow, I think, divides into swollen claws, each tipped with
orange fire, spurring out from plain green, clover-like leaves. This brief
description to account for your name. And because nowadays, what you are, the
wonder of knowing you, carnally as it were, getting under the skin of your whys
and wherefores, needs must be superseded by faint remembering – the long days
when you, and bluebell, pimpernel, speedwell, gemmed my small world of childish
delights, the long days when essence of pebble would hold in my hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">... so, yesterday got onto the path that runs alongside the fence at Walney airport, heard the rustle of a largish animal the other side of the fence. Not a dog, not a fox, it sounded too big for that. Maybe a Roe deer? I've no idea! After that it was onto the salt marshes for the second bird counting day, into a strong north easterly. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've got a map of the salt marsh reserve and am learning the initials to put on it when a bird is spotted, L for Lapwing, WW for Willow Warbl<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">er, MP Meadow Pipit, ET Little Egret. A circle round the initial means song, underlined means it's calling... it's like learning a new language, almost a found poem... arrows for direction the birds are flying, a kind of starburst round an R indicates an aggressive encounter between two Robins. Saw a fair few Meadow Pipits, pair of Goldfinches,a Lapwing displaying, a Curlew (CU) hunkered down in a mud gully</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Couldn't believe it that the Fox we spotted sniffing, quartering here and there near a large willow last week was again seen yesterday, same place, same behaviour, same sudden scenting us. It paused in its actions. Turned and eyeballed us. Its fox-mask-face glowing richredbrown against the newly freshening green of the salt marshed edge lands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Walked into the wind right down to the very end of the salt marched reserve, to the gate that leads to the dunes. The sand a dazzling sable, windblown into giant waves. On the way back saw a clock face, lying on the marsh, it'd stopped at 3.55pm. Time and Tide etc. Other oddities that appealed to me: an old wheelie bin, lying on its side, barnacled. Gorse and Heart's Ease sang brightly.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f; font-size: 16.0pt;">What a weekend! Apart
from feeling sad not get to the launch of <a href="https://beautifuldragons.net/birdie"><i>Watch the Birdie</i></a> anthol. (Beautiful Dragons Press, ed. Rebecca Bilkau) at RSPB
Leighton Moss on Friday 16th November, I loved every minute of the two events I read at, at <a href="http://www.mountainfest.co.uk/LiteratureFestival">Kendal Mountain Literature Festival</a>. From <i>This Place I Know</i> (<a href="http://handstandpress.net/">Handstand Press</a>, eds. Liz Nuttall, Kerry Darbishire and Kim Moore) reading to yesterday's launch of <a href="https://www.v-publishing.co.uk/books/categories/wildlife-photography-and-outdoors/waymaking.html"><i>Waymaking</i>,</a><i> </i>(Vertebrate Publishing, eds. Helen Mort, Camilla Barnard, Claire Carter and Heather Dawe) from wandering along the sunlit
banks of the Kent, hoping to see otters - didn't see any, I live in hope! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f; font-size: 16.0pt;">- to sitting quietly in
Kendal Parish Church before yesterday's reading... enjoying a coffee, chatting
to lay preachers about poetry and moments that light you up <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f; font-size: 16.0pt;">- then back to KMLF to
plunge into the high energy buzz! It was fab, and I was absolutely thrilled to
be part of the readers, listening to women's tales of adventure... from bike to
ice, to falls, to moments of synaesthesia*, (I can identify with this!)
kayaking, running, visiting First Nation peoples, to pondering on the body, on
pain and endurance...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f; font-size: 16.0pt;">Still buzzing from
the weekend! Lesson plan, handouts, writing prompts for Saturday's Write on the Farm workshop -
sorted! Had a wild, leaf-skittering stride through Conishead Priory woods
this morning, onto the beach, tide just turned, waves flinging themselves
about... with the blown around leaf-crisps swirled up into air, I felt part
of the wind and the sea... <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f; font-size: 16.0pt;">Watched two jays
nut-gathering in a field, hopping back and forth, heads cocked, pause, then
quick beak-stab down... snowdrop shoots were pushing up near the dog graves...
way too early, surely. Sat for a while, in calm, under the Cedar of
Lebanon... thought about what poems to read at the Wordsworth Trust on
Wednesday 21st, ... clouds, grey and white against a mauve-pink sky...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

workshops and have also booked her to lead several workshops in the past. All
her workshops that I've been to have been inspirational so I highly recommend
her as a workshop facilitator. She brings her poetry expertise and knowledge to
the workshops so I always come away with poems that I’ve written, but also
names of interesting poets to read more of. Another thing I love is that
Geraldine creates a lovely supportive group in her workshops and manages to
include everyone regardless of whether they are experienced or a beginner or
have learning disabilities.” - <i>Carol Ross<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

had produced. You had a lovely manner with people and we would definitely call
on your expertise again with future creative writing events. I really look
forward to working with you again in the future. I think it's great to do
really creative activities in the outdoors, it worked really well on the site.

She brings her poetry expertise and knowledge to the workshops so I always come away with poems that I’ve written, but also names of interesting poets to read more of.

<span style="font-size: large;">November 16th, 7pm: Come and join a whole host of poets, reading from this wonderful new anthology, <i>Watch the Birdie </i>ed. Rebecca Bilkau, Beautiful Dragons Press</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many birds are on the red, endangered, list and this anthology is, hopefully, going towards helping raise awareness of this.

Salt Road by Geraldine Green. Indigo Dreams Publications. £8.95</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
Sir Chris Bonington found Salt Road “a magical book”.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
The magic is there in the everyday. In doing everyday things, sitting on a limestone outcrop at Birkrigg with your dog at your side, panting, waiting for a stick to be thrown, and watching, “Meadow Browns land on / harebells, Alpine ladies slippers /or tormentil.” But beneath the innocence is something dark. The tide that “licks its way into gulleys and channels” should not fool you: “it may look as though it’s creeping - /each wave searching / for a foothold / but underneath lies its venom, / quicksand and current.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
Geraldine watches the oyster catchers “stretched out / in a well drilled line “ across Morecambe Bay. She sees the tide “bellying in with sidewinder waves /and the birds, black and white waiters with orange bills / dragging it in on orange filaments / like a table cloth”.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
And there is a magic that she used to know when a child, living in Ulverston, knowing the coast north to St Bees and east along Morecambe Bay: “the feel of a / lapwing chick in my hand / taste of wild strawberries / taste of new laid egg / my dad had found in the hedge / on his way home from his shift / in Glaxo”.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
These are times when, as she titles a poem, “I have to write this down” – “holding the moment / the past, the future and /what is to come . . . a poem together open / praising the day”.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
That praise might be for “the company of curlews / over wintering on the sands” or “six white herons / landed /among reeds /off Bardsea beach / where once I paddled, / reedless, as a child.” With her dog, Roy, who is alongside her in so many poems, she settles “into the rhythm /of Bardsea /home and tides.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
The magic and the praise are more than simply seeing, tasting and feeling. On a warm, moonless night on Birkrigg, she recalls a dream “when / the sun set over a black ocean and I with my / black dog stood on rocks the moon / set bloodred in the east”. She knows it is the end of the world: “My body took the shape / of limestone, my eyes the moon, my hands /two lark wings opening, closing in prayer.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
She waits on the natural world, sitting in the woods all day until “My name now is no name / my body is white and silver / my name is birch and alder, /My tongue the sound of finches / my feet sewn deep into earth / all day I grow deeper.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
She walks the “Salt Road into the bay”, out into “salt & flat-caked mud / baked white in the sun / tread among samphire” She follows the tracks and “eating samphire / as if I’m its juice / as if I’m its flesh / as if I’m crushed into samphire green. / I pause / take breath / take in the sweep and sway / before the next wash of tide.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">
It is perfectly measured poetry where the simplicity and clarity of words, the closeness of observation, lead to the quietest of deep reflections. Geraldine Green’s landscape is the one of her childhood, the one where she still lives, around Ulverston. She is able to reach beyond seeing to absorb and to be absorbed into the world she describes. It is a sense of the world she has learnt from the American Indians, a reverence that, as she tells us, she realised as a child reading a book in a Barrow bookshop. The “aim in writing Salt Road is to share the wonder I feel in my encounters with others on my journey through this bewildering, messed up, yet still astonishing world.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; position: relative;">

Salt Road is available from Bookends, 56 Castle Street, Carlisle, and 66 Main Street, Keswick, and from www.bookscumbria.com.”<br />

It is Autumn and my garden is dappled with sunlight. I have in my hand a copy of Geraldine Green’s Salt Road and wondering what to expect. I know she’s a landscape poet and the cover by Ronnie Goodyer of Indigo Dreams Publishing is evocative; earthy grey rocks, sea and distant mountains. Not a chocolate box landscape but a fundamental one. A good beginning.</div>

There is an urgency in this writing, these stories and poems: “I have to write this down” the writer says (p.41) “the seagulls the tide full and returning/the noise the cries, purple-pink light/sun rising, bruised sky, air lifting.” On one level the recognition that no two moments are the same, that landscape is dynamic and like a painter the scene has to be captured. On another level as more and more poems are absorbed, for me the need becomes humankind’s need to record the moment before it disappears forever. The urgency therefore is justified.</div>

The setting for much of this work is Geraldine Green’s homeland of Cumbria in the North of England however the collection also journeys to other landscapes both rural and urban: Greece, New York City, Oklahoma; landscapes and people for whom Geraldine has recognised a deep connection, marginalised cultures and people who have had their way of life swept away in what may feel to others to be progress. In these pages their voice is listened to by a writer with a great ear for dialogue. I love the moving story of the old man made homeless by flooding, his story told over the breakfast table on a “New York City morning” (<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">No Place</em>) partly nostalgia for an America he remembers as “good” despite the poet reminding us of the hardships of the period: “an era of yellow stars/and persecution/mass inflation/barrowloads of paper money.”</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Where there is change there is also loss both personal and global. “I used to know these things” title, p.37) the narrator says: “the season for shrimps”, “the names of trees”, “the feel of a lapwing in my hand”, “the taste of a new laid egg”, to select just a few from a beautiful and reflective poetic list. The writer speaks for those of us, and we are many, who live without any synchronicity with the natural world, those of us who eat strawberries daily and out of season tempted by their artificial red lusciousness. “Drilling for oil”, “nuclear powered subs”, “wind farms” that [snag] migrating birds” and in Roman times the search for” iron to smelt as weapons” (<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Power Lines</em>) are global issues felt locally<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </em>by a landscape that is constantly having its will shaped by the need to harvest its resources. Here the poet does not offer judgement, she observes, records and presents in a language we recognise.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Go out into the sunlight or curl up in a chair by the window and hug this poet’s words to you. For this is what they deserve, your close attention. Just like the earth.<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></em></div>

By sheer coincidence, when Geraldine Green’s book arrived for review I was reading another volume of poems bearing exactly the same title by the Welsh poet John Tripp. Tripp’s book, which was published by Poetry Wales Press in 1984, explores change in a largely urban setting whereas Green’s book is a celebration of her native Cumbria couched in a rural setting. Both poets share the same gift of sharp observation followed by close reflection triggered by their own experience of passing through familiar landscapes.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
A quotation from Wendell Berry and another one from Green’s late uncle, both of which are uplifting and affirmative, open and close this collection of 45 poems, prose poems and poetic prose. The cover art, designed by Ronnie Goodyer, is a neat depiction of the “door of cool cerulean blue” that features in the opening poem.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
Green describes her book as being “a love letter to Cumbria” and most of the poems to be found in this collection are rooted and grounded in the south and west of the county. Green is very much a poet of place. Almost a quarter of the titles contain place names which help the reader to place each poem in context. In ‘Fishing on the outgoing tide’ a glut of place-names make up almost an entire stanza and there is music in each name:</div>

<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11px;">Swing your gaze around:</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
Green is a poet of wide open spaces. Her poems are populated with stones, fossils, ammonites, ferns, “whorled worlds” that are “ready to take flight”, frosted teasels, sea asters and fozzy bogs. More birds fly through these pages than I have ever counted before.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
All the senses are employed here: we listen to water, see a mother-of-pearl sky, hear a curlew, smell honeysuckle, dog roses and meadowsweet. Wherever she is, Green catches the moment as well as the movement, not just of birds in flight, but of tides and seasons, the ebb and flow of our lives. Green moulds her persona into the “skyscape and landscape” until she is “the swallow-scythed air of summer”, “the eider duck’s astonished <em>aww”.</em></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
There are some arresting images too: “Black Combe’s bulk is cotton-woolled in kettle-steam cloud,” there are frogs with “stretched balletic legs”, and there is the Hopkins-like “wide-winged verses of song” that are “wing-spread low-tide flit-flight light-tilted / blown along froth”.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
Poems such as ‘Lake Bank, Coniston Water,’ ‘I am no longer myself on these sands’ and ‘Moth, Eycott Hill’ are full of beauty. Here, where she completely absorbs herself in her subject-matter, we see Green at her very best.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
These closing lines from ‘Moth, Eycott Hill’ will give readers a flavour of some of the delights to be found in this collection:</div>

<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0.4rem 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11px;"> It stayed there, the moth, bright and settled</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11px;"> before flying off, its underwing orange.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;">£35 if you come for Saturday only, incl. refreshments. Please bring your own lunch windproof/waterproof clothing and footwear. Notebook, pen, camera and binocs, too!</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;">Residential cost in No. 2 Coastguard Cottages is: £25 single room; £30 sharing a twin bedded room, plus £35 for Saturday's workshop. Breakfast, lunch and evening meals will be a 'Jacob's Join' (apart from own lunch on Saturday).</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;">The residential and workshop finishes after breakfast on Sunday morning. You are, however, most welcome to join me for another wander around the reserve.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;">Cattle on the reserve are docile and friendly, the bull's name (I've learned) is Jasper.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;">There are three single rooms and one twin bedded. You may also park your camper van at the Reserve's car park, or pitch a tent in the large cottage garden </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;">- booking essential, places limited. </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "candara"; font-size: 14pt;">It promises to be a lovely day, watching migratory birds heading to the reserve to overwinter, already curlews are arriving. We can seal watch at the afternoon's high tide (will check tide times). Fungi and toadstools, including large parasols, will be taking over from summer plants such as viper's bugloss and yellow horned poppies.</span><br />
