A review by karenluvstoread
Zoology by Gillian Clarke

4.5

This is a beautiful collection of poetry that took me by surprise. Deeply moving and meditatively written, Clarke taps into your emotions through vivid language and storytelling. Many of the poems are powerful and compelling. 

One of my favorite poems in this collection was called "The Presence". It was a poem told from the perspective of observation through the eyes of an animal that’s being hunted. So powerful!
