What earthly reason for polluting the planet? For slaughtering dolphins or zebras? Or for hoping crops will fail? No Earthly Reason? spans the globe with a remarkable variety of poems that explore its problems, and celebrate its beauty with hope and humour. Memories of childhood rambles mix with startling visions of the future – and the strange realities of the present: acid rain, CFCs, the nuclear threat. Both concern and celebration are expressed with wit and originality in this collection.
