- Summary:
- "Central to this collection is a series of poems that address the complexities of living in a setting that saturates the natural world with artificial stimuli, including the effect of computers on our psyche. The poems are a reaction to environmental tensions encountered daily, whether those stresses come from nearby or from the media. With both humour and great seriousness they protest against overwhelming technology and plead for action against climate change: always aware that the personal is political and vice versa."-- Provided by publisher.
