A true hymn to heaven and earth, Beyond Stillness is a moving, sensitive exploration of our relationship with the damaged natural world, seen up close and often in astonishing, affecting detail. Comprising poems that express, often simultaneously, both wonder and grief, with his trademark precision Mark Roper's new collection observes and sketches the world around him with an enviable lightness, even as his perspective gradually widens to include memories of his upbringing, a growing awareness of his own health and mortality. Throughout, we hear the naturalist's self-doubt ("If I could learn / to go without saying" - 'River') but this only brings us closer to both the human witness and to the greater subject of his fascination. Greatly admired for his distinctive, sensitive depictions of the natural world, Roper is no stranger to listening, and the silence that arrives at the end of many of these poems is one that brims with meaning, and which, with unerring judgement, he allows to ring.
