Bøger af Helen Moore

Under English law a parent still has the right to disinherit their offspring. This book is a poet's response to being written out of her mother's will. Exploring dispossession in a range of forms - from colonial legacies in Scotland and Australia to contemporary impacts of industrial civilisation on human health, planetary systems, and our children's future - The Mother Country is simultaneously a journey through sorrow, a quest for poetic justice, and a movement towards forgiveness and ecological restoration.

"Helen Moore not only has her own distinctive voice, she has also marked out her own territory, a territory at once local and universal. You could say she has globalised the local or rather localised the global, for her concern is nothing less than our mental and physical sanity, our survival in a dark time." (Anthony Rudolf)
