About the Book

A collection of nature poetry by Michael Tanner who is also a member of Guildford Environmental Forum and regularly writes articles for them. The poems in this powerful collection reveal the poet's extensive knowledge of the natural world, in particular of the geology and ecology of his home territory. They share his genuine delight in the landscape and all creatures within it. However, informing most of Michael Tanner's work is his understanding of the uneasy relationship between Man and Nature. A sense of menace lurks in the background, alongside a disgust for humanity's careless attitude to Earth's other inhabitants, expressed as "our obscene Anthropocene patch of concrete".

About the Author :
Michael Tanner was born in 1933, the second of four children. He was evacuated at the age of seven but returned to Bristol before the end of the blitz. A new baby put all his mother's resilience to the test. His father, ex trooper, was invalided back to Blighty in WW1. and became an ARP Warden in the evenings. Michael has two sons and a daughter from his first marriage and another son and stepson from his remarriage after the tragic death of his first wife. His daughter gave him a granddaughter. He ran nine London marathons and remains a keen amateur naturalist. His Bristol B.A. was followed by National Service, mostly as a subaltern serving with the K.A.R. in Kenya. After that he trained as a teacher and taught, mainly English, for 38 years, at secondary schools, meanwhile obtaining a B.A. Hons English at Birkbeck. Most of his spare time he writes, and squeezes in study of foreign languages, and trying to play the clarinet. He feels much gratitude to many, especially his parents and a diminutive, asthmatic Scotsman, who taught him English at Grammar School.
