Do I Look Like an Atmosphere? cover

Skoulding's second Carcanet collection develops the author's contribution to ecopoetics, inventing new forms to think through relationships with the more-than-human world. Through ferns, plastic, troubadour birdsong and broken bones, experimental poems bring background into the foreground.

‘Zoë Skoulding’s new poems inhabit places of acute attention and listening on an earth whose nature is changing, and human nature along with it. Here speak is listen too, is hear; the land and waters we cross with the poet urge us not to serendipity but to a place of thinking, all of us “knots in time… translating light” in “the university of trees”.’
Erín Moure


‘Skoulding’s songs unfold the curriculum of our polycrisis and the noise of our dreams… The music is insurgent and hits the fibre of our being with vibratory impact – Skoulding knows how to pitch to the spot where the echo comes back.’
Jonathan Skinner
