The Tree House

An essential new collection from one of Picador's leading poets our conduct within family and society.In The Tree House Jamie argues - as Burns did before her - for an engagement of the whole being through a kind of practical earthly spirituality.These often startling encounters with animals, birds, and other humans propose a way of living which recognises the earth as home to many different consciousnesses -- and a means of authentic engagement with 'this, the only world'.Together they form one of the most powerful poetic statements of recent years.
