Mary Gilliland, the American poet, essayist,<\/span> <\/span>ecologist and activist, is well-known and highly<\/span> <\/span>regarded in the USA, and this selection of<\/span> <\/span>poems is her first UK publication.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It is impossible not to fall for <\/em>Within the Shop of the Divine. These are poems abundant in flora and fauna, rich in life and matter and earthed in the spaces and histories they emerge from. Mary Gilliland\u2019s gift with language, and her open attention to the world affects a kind of communion \u2013 between self and space, human and more than human, and between loved ones \u2013 that moves as much as it delights. A pamphlet of grief, recovery and quiet joy from a poet who deserves to be better known in the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n

HANNAH COPLEY<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Mary Gilliland\u2019s tensile lyric and fluent narrative grasp the sweet otherness in life\u2026a radiant testimony \u2013 and a triumph \u2013 of an unerring ear I deeply cherish. Mythical and grounded, her sensuously rich language enacts a poetry in which self-concentration brims beyond the far reach of desire, passion, and the self.<\/em><\/p>\n

ISHION HUTCHINSON<\/p>\n

By turns mystical and realist, Mary Gilliland\u2019s intensely musical poems consider global apocalypse but also celebrate the generative power of creativity. Her vision is profound, enduring.<\/em><\/p>\n
