Description
How does wonder induce change in us, as people and as readers? Paul Moorehead’s poetic voice arrives fully-formed—intriguing, inquiring, and innovative.
Green: the colour of growth, the colour of change, the colour of go. Green engages these themes head on, using humour, precise language, and intense concentration on poetic craft. These poems range over a variety of subjects from nature and science to parenting and popular culture, challenging the reader to consider the meaning of change in a poetic world that is deeply personal and wildly expansive. This collection makes unique poetic use of scientific ideas, considering the consequences, both lived and artistic, of existing in a world of wonders.
