The poems in Earth's Almanac emerged over a fifteen-year period
following the untimely death of the poet's sister. Lucy Newlyn
adapts the tradition of the 'Shepherd's Calendar' to the phases of
grief, condensing a long process of reflection and remembering into
the passage of a single year. The poems shift through forms and
move between places - Oxford, Borrowdale, and finally Cornwall,
where the poet finds a second home near the sea. In these intense
expressions of love and loss, anger and guilt, there is no smooth
path towards consolation.
