*Charm* is the striking debut collection by Zoë Green, exploring the edges between places and people, and the search for comfort in an unpredictable world. Drawing on landscapes of Scotland, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, the poems move between journeying, shapeshifting, mythology and spell - with geese, foxes, crows, old masters and ancient paths accompanying the poet in acts of remembrance and reinvention.
Rooted in multiple languages and cultures, Charm reflects on the inheritance of trauma and the persistence of memory; a lyrical exploration of how words, like stones or coordinates, can tether us, and how poetry itself can become a form of homecoming.
