Anthology of Poems for GreenSpirits
Compiled by Joan Angus
This is a collection of poetry written by people who are spiritually green, expressing their love of Mother Gaia and the community of the Natural World. The book is loosely arranged in sections to represent different aspects of Earth-centred life and death. The poems were lovingly gathered from the poets’ personal collections and from some previously published in GreenSpirit magazines, as well as those contributed by friends and family. It is a book for browsing or dipping into; thought provoking, uplifting and meditational.

Book Reviews
Nature Connection: Remembering Wholeness’ by Adrian Harris
Nature Connection is a practical guide that aims to help the reader re-establish a sense of belonging to the more-than-human world: to rediscover what it means to be part of Nature rather than separate from it.
Hermit: A memoir of finding freedom in a wild place by Jade Angelis Fitton
Jade Fitton wanted to escape her messed up life and the ceaseless busy-ness of society, and decided she would take drastic action to bring it about. She would go it alone. Warnings about the negative effects of loneliness are easily found, but solitude can be, for a very few people, a different state altogether.
