This radical anthology is concerned with what Robert Lowell called ‘this sweet volcanic cone’, our human planet. The text is dedicated to the rake, an age-old implement which connects the earth to our hands, and the landscape with the sky.

Description

Taking for her subject our human planet, or what Robert Lowell called ‘this sweet volcanic cone’, Alice Oswald has chosen 101 poems which map the border between the personal and natural worlds. Including poems by William Barnes, Robert Frost, John Clare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, W.H. Auden, Stevie Smith, Ted Hughes, Hugh MacDiarmid, John Ashbery and many others, The Thunder Mutters: 101 Poems for the Planet casts its net worldwide, historically and geographically, engaging restlessly with the many-centred energies of the natural world.
