The Thunder Mutters: 101 poems for the planet (Faber, 2006, edited by Alice Oswald) begins with Oswald’s dedication to the rake — “an age-old implement which connects the earth to our hands, and the landscape with the sky.” She chooses 101 poems which map the border between the personal and natural worlds and include poems by Robert Frost, John Clare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, W.H. Auden, Stevie Smith, Ted Hughes, and John Ashbery, among others.
