Solastalgia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781913958435)

In his second poetry collection Irish poet Ciar?n Hodgers explores the intersection of mental health and the natural world; what it means and how it feels to seek out better states of being, both individually and as part of a living ecology. These poems ask what trees can teach us about grief; considers evolutionary biology as a metaphor for the counselling process; how autumn can encourage us to let go; what a mountain has to say about trauma and how an extinct bird might help us feel more at home in our bodies. Seeking beyond history and colonialism, this collection urges us to find deeper connections to our individual and cultural selves as a gateway for nurturing reciprocity with the wider world.
