Publisher's Synopsis
The third in a trilogy by acclaimed poet-geographer Tim Cresswell, Plastiglomerate charts the relentless impact of mankind on the environment. The central poem recycles the British folk ballad 'The Twa Magicians' to make a magnificent, troubling ecological protest song. From plastic pollution and wrecked vessels to forest fires and melting icecaps, Cresswell writes vital, urgent poetry for the Anthropocene age.
His earlier collection Fence has been described by Rob McFarlane as 'A strange and spectral volume, born of a fence that separates nowhere from the now and here, deep in the high Arctic.'
