Synopsis

SINGING AT THE BONE TREE WAS A WINNER OF THE GEOFF STEVENS MEMORIAL POETRY PRIZE 2013 Women gather for a residential course in the Scottish Highlands on writing the wild; only to find our surroundings turn out to be fenced-off moor, banks of forestry and mountains that sit firmly in the distance? Our journey to reclaim the wild self, inevitably encounters frustration and grief for our treatment of the earth. But if you accept what is, listen and watch the wild reveals itself.

About this title

Review:

Clynes poems are as earthy, rich, feral as the landscapes she writes about. Woven through all of them is the theme of digging to the bedrock, the bones of human, of land. Her concerns are territory, boundaries, fences and how we might slip through the wires. At times, as in the final poem, she achieves a near-shapeshift before our eyes. --Roselle Angwin. Poet, Author, Writing Tutor
