The Light We Cannot See; Anne Casey (Salmon Poetry)
Paperback
Condition: As New
The light we cannot see traverses a globe caught in the combined turmoil of the climate crisis, COVID-19 and humanitarian unrest, as seen through the eyes of a mother worried for her children's futures and an exiled daughter struggling with loss and separation from loved ones in her native Ireland. Navigating the path of these apocalyptic spheres and their devastating impacts -- including catastrophic bushfires in her adopted homeland of Australia -- the poet strives throughout this collection of award-winning poems to connect with our "one persisting challenge -- to somehow find our allied humanity." A probing reflection on the human condition, this book leans always towards "the light we cannot yet see, but know lies ahead."
