Leaves of Field

Exploring themes of environmental degradation, the collection features three long sequences that blend prose and poetry. Peter Larkin draws on the language of forestry, agriculture, and botany to articulate a powerful response to the destruction of natural landscapes. Each sequence—'Leaves of Field', 'Open Woods', and 'Moving Woods'—demonstrates a unique interplay of form and language, reflecting Larkin's commitment to eco-poetry and his defiance against ecological harm.
