Jo Bratten's debut poetry chapbook bubbles with anger and guilt at the failures of both spirit and body and a coming to terms with loss, for the natural passing of loved ones, and the unnatural passing of our planet's ecosystems.

They offer the simplest kind of love: the joy that can be found within nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43924800635139,"sku":"9781913211844","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781913211844_427ade0b-7d67-4441-ae1a-ed094d22922e.jpg?v=1731416700","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.pro\/products\/9781913211844","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
