Windfall by Jane Clarke

What does Ireland’s nature poetry say about us as a people? How does it speak to us of our past, our inheritance, the values to which we aspire? What lies within its language that connects us to our deeper selves and our place within our communities and environments? As varied as our plants, animals and habitats, ‘Windfall’ presents a portrait of a much-loved landscape. Jane Carkill’s captivating original illustrations of Ireland’s rich and diverse natural world add to the sense of enchantment and wonder. Each poem pays attention to nature while also reflecting on the loves and losses of our everyday lives.
