the poetry magazine for the environment
We may not like what is happening to our environment and the world around us but sometimes we can't afford or don't have the time to become actively involved with charities.
earth love has a solution!
For only £2.00 you can buy twenty-four pages of unique and original poetry by established and new poets and you can help the environment at the same time!
This is because all proceeds from earth love go directly to animal welfare and environmental charities.
All poetry in earth love has a conservation/nature theme and you too can contribute your own work. Just send it to the address below, including an SAE.
earth love is also looking for:
Black and white artwork
articles related to the earth love theme
inspirations
(Short pieces on books, poems, music, places, people that you have found inspiring)
issues are priced @ £2.00 or only £5.00 for a subscription of three!
to submit work or subscribe, send to:

Please remember to include an SAE when submitting work.
Cheques/POs made payable to earth love.
current issue features
Open the pages of November's issue of earth love and you'll be stepping over the cusp of the old year, into a world of red, white and black: red for the reflections of early afternoon sunsets, white for frost etchings on windowpanes and black for the unclothed trees reaching up to the night sky towards the silver studs of stars. Is that overdone? Well, I do make it up as I go along. Unlike the following poets and their poems:
A C Clarke eulogises ATree in Winter, Kathleen Adkins makes art from Frost, Geoff Roberts puts a Pine Cone under the microscope, and Graham Fulton lands in The Tenements of Mars.
A Rainshower catches Isabella Strachan, Letters from Heaven fall on Royce Levi, What Can I Say of Today says Deborah Gordon, while The Esoteric Language of Rock perplexes Sue Bunce.
Mercedes Claraso sees Stars Again, Tina Negus is pursued by Farmyard Geese at Aberdaron, Laurence Tierney ponders Beluga and the Frankenstein Bird, and Here We Galapago Again with Neal Wilgus.
Artwork by the fantastic Tina Negus and Chris Catt James. What more could you want for the holidays?
Here's a reminder about the earth love transatlantic POETREE COMPETITION. Click on the link at the top of the page for more details. As always, don't forget to visit the charity page before you go. In the meantime, enjoy this month's issue. Stay warm this winter - by lying in bed with a poetry book.
