" T]he trained eye of the natural scientist and the impassioned
soul of a poet fuse to create a poetic universe that is nothing
short of miraculous. At home in the liminal spaces where
revelations still occur, she approaches our fragile natural
environment invariably with a sense of wonder and a detached
observant love for its creatures. The precision of her sensual,
superbly controlled descriptions, are breath-taking. Encounters
with the 'other' world of our animal brothers and sisters display a
sense of tact and empathy which is Keatsian in scope. Tribe is an
elegy for a lost paradise, a Song of Songs for squirrel, fox and
raven, whale, wolf and gannet, and ultimately it raises serious
questions for us and generations to come-how did we squander our
inheritance so mindlessly: what have we done with the garden
entrusted to us?" - Eva Bourke, author of The Latitude of Naples
