In this sensitive, fresh and varied collection, Adrian Lane celebrates God's wonderful creation, from the Mediterranean summers of Montenegro to the Arctic blues of Greenland and northern Norway. Yet he is simultaneously frankly alert to the horrors, jealousies and brokenness of this world, exploring the yearnings felt by many for yet another world, of which this one provides both a taste and tarnished image.

In this fresh, open and varied collection, Adrian Lane explores and celebrates life's reversals and paradoxes. The poems travel through the seasons in a range of hemispheres.
