Symbiosis

By Patricia M Osborne

Poetry Conversation as a concept is a relatively new means of interpreting poetry, where poets collaborate to respond to each other’s work within a pre-defined theme, the general idea being that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The umbrella theme of Symbiosis interprets the natural world with a bit of a twist. Poems incorporate Geopoetics, Intellectual Nomadism, Shamanism, the Underworld, engaging, not only with each other as poets, but with Earth and the Cosmos.

Along the way Patricia and Brian touch on ancient civilisations, meditative passages, the pandemic, light amongst the darkness. Their collective journey, and imperative need to move away from the carnage of the modern world to a new physical and mental architecture, offers the opportunity to shake themselves free of inertia, building a symbiotic interdependency as soldiers of unity in a new, revived world.
