current issue features
There’s a dazzling collection of poetry in November’s edition of earth love that will start your winter with a sparkle and keep it lit through those cold and dreary months. So don't despair - as the rain prattles incessantly at the window, dig out those toe-warmers and cosy into the couch, a hot drink in one hand and earth love in the other, and treat yoursel to this season's verse, hot off the press and still sparking.
Follow the Shore Walkers with Catriona Newman, drive Highway 60 Ontario with Geoff William, walk the Colonsay Roads with Mavis Gulliver, and get Elemental with Michael Newman. John Roney asks what happens When Time Stands Still, Anthony John Ward gets World Weary, Vivien Foster asks What are you Thinking of? And Tony Crosier muses over Cezanne’s Saint-Victoire. Listen to Voices of the Sea with Ellamae Hindley, witness a Rainbow over the Severn Bridge with Guy Fletcher, enjoy a Fall Festival with Paul Curtis and find out what D J Tyrer thinks of All the Ugly Bugs.With art from C Sparkes, PEF and Chris Catt James. And remember our haiku competition is still open until 30 November. See the competitions page and compose your own ‘little verse that means a lot.’ Enjoy the winter holidays, scenery and constellations, and I’ll be back next year with February’s edition of earth love.
Love and light
The Ed.

For the past year, Earth Love has been working with US poetry editor, Stacy Smith, to produce an anthology of poems dedicated to our arboreal companions, the trees. The finished chapbook, Leaves of Poetry, is the result of a transatlantic poetry competition, and features the winning poems by Loretta Diane Walker, A C Clarke and Andrea Dietrich, and the best of the entries, celebrating trees in all their guises. All proceeds from the chapbook will go directly to Ancient Forest International, located in Redway, California. Click on the link above to order a copy. Alternatively, see the competitions page for more information.
