This collection presents the breakdown of a relationship alongside the breakdown of our environment. Interesting use of colour and biology to connect the two, particularly with the similar cause of issue being rot or infection between the two themes and their downfalls.

An epic very similar in imagery and limerence to Elizabeth Smart’s poetry with striking, tasteful draws between environmental distaster and unrequited love, all organised in succession. So much nuance created along the river pulling Rachel Allen’s self out of her wood-rotting relationship. The prose and poems read like a vibrant green slideshow, the greens like that of cyanide leaves, of new bile, of toxic waste
