Lithosphere
Compelling and strange, Ben Walter's debut poetry collection explores our eccentric connections to the natural world—the flora and fauna, water and wind that burst through the valleys and peaks of the lithosphere, the hard, rocky crust of the Earth that makes all life possible.
Driftwood groans towards the ocean, meadows of grass overrun a mountain, ruined teahouses serve up snow and the bushranger Rocky Whelan roars from his cave. With striking, shimmering language, Lithosphere delves into the peculiarities hidden in our relationship with the world outside.
