Paperback. Etat : As New. 68 pages. Fifty years after she arrived in New Zealand from Los Angeles, Mary Cresswell ?s focus is unchanged. As a poet with a scientist?s concern for detail she i s still drawn to nature and what humanity has done with it. Seascapes are rocky and forbidding, landscapes are arid and treeless, and drones keep an eye on us. The few surviving animals?one frog and two birds?speculate on ?extinction? ?? even as it is happening to them, just as the poet describes the strange parad ox of the pandemic that on one hand threatens humanity and on the other allows t he planet to breathe again. Mary uses word-play, satire and absurdity to tell he r story, and puts the body politic centre stage as the cause of and agent for re pairing the mess we are in. N° de réf. du vendeur 1780c
