No Place Like

By (author): Adam Beardsworth

No Place Like regards the crisis of the Anthropocene, the disorientation and grief arising from our inability to meaningfully stem the planet’s accelerating decline. Moving from the minute incidents of the everyday through to wider cultural narratives, Beardsworth’s account of the relationship between the self and the environment often strikes a note of loss and longing. Yet if the very nature of Enlightenment reason has been complicit in all this destitution and anxiety, might some other path to hope remain in things outlandish, miraculous and unexplained?

No Place Like is a beautiful collection of poetry that fearlessly delves into the complexities of the climate crisis. —Sydney Walsh, Atlantic Books
