Bath of Herbs (Peepal Tree Press), the debut poetry collection by Emily Zobel Marshall, is a feminist exploration of self, mixed-race identity, and the healing powers afforded by an immersion in nature. Zobel Marshall, the granddaughter of famed Martiniquan writer Joseph Zobel, explores the repercussions of such an indelible literary legacy, while simultaneously forging and refining her own creative voice. The poet’s childhood in rural Snowdonia, North Wales, draws upon the transformative capacities of nature in its most elemental forms.
