'To have an ecological education, wrote Aldo Leopold, is to live alone in a world of wounds. Yvonne Reddick writes of the natural world in all its wonder, variety, and woundedness. Her poems are precise, beautiful, and clear-eyed acts of witness. They are also calls to action.' -- David Morley Elegiac, original and memorable, these poems uncover the private maps and ghost-bearings that guide us in the mountains, creating their own vivid geology. -- Helen Mort * on Translating Mountains * Reddick sets a sombre music behind the rawness of loss, like a glimpse of her mountains in the distance. * PN Review, on Translating Mountains * It’s impossible to read this collection without being moved. * New Welsh Review, on Translating Mountains *
