Thrift (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781911587804)

Alison Lock's new collection Thrift grows out of a very sad place where her 'communing in slow grief' for the earth and its vanishing creatures is as painful as a personal bereavement. The collection's poems are grouped into three sections: Rue, Thrift and Sage - herbal names which suggest a spiritual journey from despair through frugal sustainability to a potentially more hopeful future.
