I Sing to the Greenhearts (Seren Books) by Maggie Harris presents poems of place, inflected by the complex passages of history. Steeped in experience, full of speakers who remain undaunted despite time’s ravages, the collection travels from Guyana to Wales, gathering potent symbolisms of our natural and man-made worlds as they journey. Attuned to the pressures of environmental devastation, wary of the spectres raised by insalubrious social media use, I Sing to the Greenhearts explores pathways towards a deeply thinking, feeling planet – one in which we aren’t victims to our fears or flickering computer screens.
