The "birds, beasts and flowers" of Isobel Dixon’s new collection are in
conversation with DH Lawrence's essay ‘Whistling of Birds’, thus
lending this publication its name, though each poem here is its
own vivid testament to the natural world, and our often troubled and
troubling place in it.
Lyrical, vigorous, inventive, the poems share points of creative
contact with Lawrence’s iconic collection, Birds, Beasts and Flowers,
but also ranges widely through the worlds of other writers and
makers. Threaded throughout is the beautiful complexity and
vulnerability of the planet, and the joy and difficulty of making art.
With its resonant elegies and notes of celebration, this is a collection
that flexes, hums and brims with energy, yet draws you surely in to its
quiet, reflective heart.
Poetry as powerful connection and recapitulation, and, even in
landscapes of exile and diminishment, the art of rewilding and
replenishing the self.
