A fresh look at the natural world, as seen through the eyes of a poet-scientist. Longlisted for the Laurel Prize 2022. "In this vivid, wide-ranging and reflexively-aware collection, Sarah Watkinson is a poet who is also a scientist, rather than a scientist writing poetry. She brings knowledge and experience, professional and personal, to her poetry and demonstrates mastery of her medium. She addresses important and profound themes but always with a light touch - and humour is never far away. This is an impressive first collection - and a model of informed nature writing." Steve Ely, Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing, University of Huddersfield "In this collection, Sarah Watkinson provides a unique glimpse of the natural world, seen through the eyes of a poet-scientist. Most of us are simply incapable of putting into words how we really feel about the animals and plants we study. Thank goodness we have Sarah to do it for us." Lindsay Turnbull, Director of Undergraduate Biology Teaching, University of Oxford
