In these poems the atmosphere is under our skin and in our bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReviewing Skoulding's previous collection, Joey Connolly observed that her work is ' clever, but it is also pleasurable as poetry, and its theory arises from within.' Here again, Skoulding's ingenious, innovative forms evoke a natural world newly vulnerable to human actions. Faced with the inseparability of the non-human world from the destructiveness of human activity, these poems trace their connection across times and places: the humble mussel connects the coast of north Wales with fishing communities world-wide, while the calcium of its shell is found in the limestone of the Norman castles that colonised Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800175389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72","brand":"Zo\u0026#195;\u0026#171; Skoulding","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750302314677,"sku":"9781800175389","price":17.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/do-i-look-like-an-atmosphere-9781800175389","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
