Else in Bloomington, MN

A first collection for Leicestershire poet Mark Goodwin, and winner of an Eric Gregory Award in 1998. "It's thrilling to welcome a new poet into the company of our seriously exciting younger nature writers such as Kathleen Jamie and Robert Macfarlane. Mark Goodwin is a poet whose surround-senses are as alert as an animal's, and whose writing is exceptionally grounded in so many of the complexities of being fully human." (Catherine Byron)
