A massive storm on the Moroccan edge of the Sahara Desert inspires a poetic meditation on the rippling effects of changing environments. In Sahara Rain the images of ‘weathering’ also extend to survival in war and impact on interpersonal relationships, taking readers through experiences of shock and loss to possibilities of joy and connection.

Stephanie Green’s poems combine passionate concern with tender examination of the ‘erosions’ of environment, war and relationships. Landscape grounds these poems, from ‘the mineral taste’ of the Sahara, to Norway and Antarctica. Limpid imagery and unsettling questions create vulnerable poems, celebrating the ‘green flames of the living world.’ These poems will provoke you, move you and change you. Savour them.
