Inspired by the deep-time adventures of Robert Macfarlane in ‘Underland’ (2019), Black Bough Poetry’s anthology ‘Deep Time’ (volume 1) is one of two volumes dedicated to prehistory, mythologies, geological time and underworlds. 

In this volume, poets from across the world explore subterranean and submarinal environments, uncover the traces of the past in mining and archaeology and evoke the mythologies of ancestors.

Listen to the poets reading their poems from volume 1, as well as three original musical compositions in this playlist.
