Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Jean Atkin’s third collection engages with weather, and creatures, and place, the lives we once had and the lives we live now on the edge of climate disaster. Her invented ‘High Nowhere’ is an imaginary placename, a marker for what’s at stake. At the core of the book is a journey made in Iceland during the Covid years.
The collection is enlarged by Jean’s own black and white photographs.
'In High Nowhere now… ‘the river spins me a kingfisher, a sudden pulsing curve of peacocked flight…’ and we learn what happens ‘When the grandmothers were let out of prison…’
This poet is a true celebrant of planetary energy. Her observing eye and feeling imagination give us immediate and rich access to the places she describes. Here also are manifold griefs for our threatened and depleted natural world. The collection includes a series of Atkin’s striking photographs, and these images add another strand of deep meaning to the collection.
Magical and singing, these are wondrous and timely poems.'
