Travelling Through Time’ is a meditation through poetry on the changes in nature and ourselves through time. As we listen to or read the poems they bring us closer to nature and the progress of time and in doing so help us to reconnect with both.
Starting with 'January' the poems move through changes in time and conclude by reaching into the future through 'The New Year’. The form, pattern, rhythm or shape can vary between and sometimes within poems.
The project is part of the subthemes The Ecology of Language - Poetry and Environmental Action, Healing Narratives - Poetry, Mental Health and Collective Trauma, and Poetry and the Digital Commons - New platforms, new audiences.

The poems use clear and simple language and their format and rhythm can sometimes vary to suit the topic.
