The Mother Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781906900588)

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.
