‘If you are looking for love, try the mysteries of earth.’ If Ruth Padel is one our national treasures – and she most certainly is, given her intrepid questing across our planet to bring us expertly-sculpted stories to fire up our imaginations – then Emerald, her twelfth collection, is one of her greatest achievements. But the journey itself is only the first stepping stone to her lyrical reflections on the human condition.’ – André Naffis-Sahely

I have published twelve UK poetry collections. These ones are also published in US: Darwin, A Life in Poems, Beethoven Variations, and The Mara Crossing under the title On Migration – Dangerous Journeys and the Living World).

There is a bilingual Polish-English anthology of my poems, The Art of Kintsugi, and an Italian translation of my Beethoven book, Variazioni Beethoven.
