Landscapes Old and New

Landscapes Old and New is Allen Ireland's third book of poetry, combining new poems with poems from his previous collections, all centered on remembered natural places, illustrating with power and precision how exterior landscapes can mirror the landscapes of the soul. Through his characters, set against nature's backdrops, Ireland shows us that we are all products of the natural world, in a tug-of-war between community and isolation, despair and optimism, and life and death.
