Salt Road
Geraldine
Green’s passion for and knowledge of the natural world and its spiritual
energies has its roots and takes its cue from home ground, her native
Cumbria. She has noted her ‘long and
deep connection’ with Cumbria. She draws inspiration from light over water,
tidal energy, the intent of the land combined with rich tellings of family and
local memory. But her poems and
prose-poems also travel the roads and the seas:
from Cumbria to Kansas, New Mexico, Spain, Greece, New York, Skye and Turkey. Her poems are also peopled with those she has
met on her travels. This poet takes her
place in contemporary poetry with work that shines with joy in and respect for
language. The vitality of life’s many
experiences are evoked here with all the senses.

“What a magical book.
Geraldine’s poetry and prose explores and captures the feel, texture,
smell of natural beauty where ever it is to be found. It’s especially
evocative of her own home ground on the South coast of Cumbria overlooking
Morecambe Bay, but it ranges across the world following her own journeys.
It pulses with energy, and a boundless enthusiasm, that makes you hunger
for more.”
- Sir Chris
Bonington
