These poems explore further and future ways of plants and trees, and won't duck from being permeated at the same time by irradiating horizons or tensile symbols which perform a vital role in any multi-dimensional inter-relations.
'This is not a poetry about trees, but about trees as a means of thinking, the material through which we can and do think, a world, its ontology, its epistemology too. The tree as discourse. The tree as perceiver of what the tree needs to know.'-Stephen Collis
"Peter Larkin is one of the most important poets writing today. His career, mapped across his six collections of poetry, ten pamphlets, as well as a monograph and several critical articles, spans a period rich with poetic innovation and change. Echoes from the work of the Imagists, Black Mountain poets, Language poets, British Poetry Revival poets, and 'radical landscape' poets resonate in a wholly new kind of verse, ecological and religious, scarce and abundant, oblique and material." - E.J. Mason
"Larkin challenges the conventions of traditional 'nature' poetry. He does not see 'nature' as providing a straightforward sense of belonging, or of nurture. What is available to us is more like a hint of something given but only scarcely, something which remains beyond our reach or comprehension." - Simon Collings
