Zoe Skoulding's first Carcanet collection is a navigation of lostness, centred on Anglesey, that discovers solidarities across times, places and species.
This year-long sequence of five-line poems takes as its point of departure the French Republican Calendar, devised by the poet Fabre d'Eglantine with the aim of breaking the power of the Church and returning symbolic importance to the agricultural worker.
In Footnotes to Water (Seren) poet Zoe Skoulding follows two forgotten rivers, the Adda in Bangor and the Bievre in Paris, and tracks the literary hoofprints of sheep through Welsh mountains. In these journeys she reveals urban and rural locales as sites of lively interconnection, exploring the ways in which place shapes and is shaped by language.
