Wild Reckoning

Wild Reckoning (Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, 2004, edited by John Burnside and Maurice Reardon) is an anthology inspired by the fortieth anniversary of Rachel Carson’s controversial and prophetic book ‘Silent Spring’, which warned against the indiscriminate use of pesticides and its consequences for the environment, and for us. The anthology features poems commissioned from leading poets including Seamus Heaney and Andrew Motion, as well as work from a number of American ecopoets.
