- Book Synopsis
- Geography and language collide in Soil by Tim Cresswell. His poems delight in the strange, situated at the cusp of natural and urban. A fox climbs a London skyscraper; municipal trees are displaced from their mountain habitats; sandworts take root in abandoned mine shafts; geological time is glimpsed through the 'crushed structures' of the city.
