Territory
Andrew Forster2010

Andrew Forster s second collection explores what it means to make a home in a particular place, and the relationship with the environment that this implies. Much of the collection is set in the remote former mining village of Leadhills in south-west Scotland, where these questions are encountered daily. The poems delve into the landscape, history and natural history of Leadhills, its surrounding area and beyond, examining the uneasy balance of our relationship with nature.
