In this evocative collection Will Burns explores his deep interest in place and the natural world to excavate the emotional impact of grief and loss. ‘Natural Burial Ground’ is by turns melancholy and musical, haunting and deeply empathetic, a collection that wrestles with the scope and heft of elegy, while retaining the poet’s world-weary humour and range of imagery. There is throughout a sense of ‘home’ as unsettled, or unsettling – the landscapes of the Home Counties and of the Channel Islands – the very concept of islands themselves, becoming changed, haunted, in the wake of human experience.
