Nature 20/20

With 2020 being such an iconic date, and climate change increasing affecting our planet, a poetry anthology on the theme of Nature seems both relevant and necessary. Nature 20/20 features 21 poets from across the globe, each with their own unique take on the theme - from the death of polar bears to a butterfly crashing into a forehead, from wildlife caught in nets to the 'moaning' of the waves, from a little moss underfoot to a vast panorama of the America west, and many more poems exploring the personal and social, the universal and particular. The poets featured are Jeremy Barron, Sara Brown, Mariangela Canzi, Tim Dolland, Samantha Eads, Brian M Falconer, Stuart Forrest, Dean Gessie, Charles Gillispie, John Jacobson, Jacob Klein, Sara Martins, RH Peat, Holly Brians Ragusa, Konnie Risinger, Judy Strang, Leon Stevens, Nana Tokatli, The Yan, Simon Yately, Lynne Zotalis, Prizes were offered for the best three poems, sponsored by UK poet GK Grieve. The winners were "Survival" by Brian Falconer, "Brakcish" by Konnie Risinger, and "Spring Night" by Maria Canzi. The collection was edited by Trevor Maynard, who is the editor of The Poetic Bond series, now in its tenth year, and has published three of his own poetry collections. "Grey Sun, Dark Moon", "Keep on Keepin' On" and "To Love, Death, and The War on Terror". All books available on Amazon and elsewhere.
