No Place Like regards the crisis of the Anthropocene, the disorientation and grief arising from our inability to meaningfully stem the planet’s accelerating decline. Moving from the minute incidents of the everyday through to wider cultural narratives, Beardsworth’s account of the relationship between the self and the environment often strikes a note of loss and longing. Yet if the very nature of Enlightenment reason has been complicit in all this destitution and anxiety, might some other path to hope remain in things outlandish, miraculous and unexplained?
More about No Place Like
Beardsworth composes poems in a combination of short phrases and long, languid sentences that lope across line breaks, stanzas and a deep earnestness, one that provides a comforting voice, even across multiple threads of elegy, and poems acknowledging a multitude of losses, from the personal to the ecological.
