Details
A new collection from the several-times winner of the BBC Wildlife Poet of the Year Award.
"This original and confident collection depicts an unsettling contemporary world, where the quotidian is found to be profoundly other than expected, and a sense of troubled realism prevails. Acuity of observation, emotional depth and intellectual rigour inform Hugh Dunkerley’s work."
Penelope Shuttle
"What I admire about Hugh Dunkerley’s poetry is the spareness and clarity of his language: his ability to tackle the extremities of experience – death, sex, loss, the ruthlessness of nature – with a vision which is unsentimental and yet profoundly moving."
Vicki Feaver
Hugh Dunkerley lectures in Creative Writing and Contemporary Poetry and the Environment in Chichester. He has a particular interest in environmentalism and ecocriticism.

He also writes articles on contemporary poetry as well as reviewing for various magazines.
