Description

Under English law a parent still has the right to disinherit their offspring. This book is a poet's response to being written out of her mother's will. Exploring dispossession in a range of forms - from colonial legacies in Scotland and Australia to contemporary impacts of industrial civilisation on human health, planetary systems, and our children's future - The Mother Country is simultaneously a journey through sorrow, a quest for poetic justice, and a movement towards forgiveness and ecological restoration.

Author Biography:

Helen Moore is an award-winning British ecopoet and socially engaged artist currently based in Sydney. Her debut poetry collection, Hedge Fund, and Other Living Margins (Shearsman Books, 2012), was described as being 'in the great tradition of visionary politics in British poetry'. Her second, ECOZOA (Per-manent Publications, 2015), which responds to what scientists term the 'An-thropocene' epoch, has been acclaimed by the Australian poet John Kinsella as 'a milestone in the journey of ecopoetics'. A collaborative bilingual Italian-English work, INTATTO. INTACT, was published by La Vita Felice in 2017. Helen regularly reads her work at literary and environmental events, and facilitates ecopoetry workshops and seminars. As a socially engaged artist, she leads creative writing programmes to support health and well-being in the community and has collaborated on a range of ecologically oriented community projects with artists from various disciplines.
