Fiona Larkin recommends 'alphabet' by Inger Christensen. She says of the book: "Alphabet by Inger Christensen is a rhapsody for the natural world and an urgent call to protect it from human threats. Although those are of its time (the Cold War, and the legacy of the atomic bomb) her message and its urgency ring true even more strongly today."

📚 It's August, which means the #SealeyChallenge is now underway! To help you on your journey to read a book every day this month, The Poetry Society has gotten in touch with poets we've recently worked with for some recommendations. (...)

​Light scurries between leaf, pointing to where there is no path, only mud full of comets, softly scaled constellations, insect in the day, at night pole star in the bushes. A firmament on which, creeping between twigs, you navigate to nowhere, call it wandering, but a wandering that brings you home without diversion in your step.

"The doctor / indicated approximately the head, a ridiculous / beginning, a pinprick, there was no person there / to be seen"

Four poems by 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗷𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗷𝗻 𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗲𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮 (transl. 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝗰𝗸) in Amsterdam Review

A poet’s sincerest aspiration is simply to observe—to put into words the organic existence of the world in all its messy, unfiltered reality. But the goal isn’t to reduce it all to fragments—it’s to hold it all together in its rawest form.
