A collection that is at once intimate and planetary, playful and apocalyptic; where crows outwit humans, bears raid bakeries; all the while, oceans rise, forests collapse, and yet a butterfly still lands, trustingly on a thumb, like 'the prow of an ark.' At once elegy and love letter, fable and protest, this collection brims with subversive humour and urgent beauty: both lullaby and alarm bell. Farrington's language bends light like a prism: sometimes daring as voicing the feelings of Ice Age animals, sometimes searing as the sound of a vanishing nightingale. Only one Earth is a reckoning - lyrical, witty, unflinching - a plea to prevent people from becoming a plague of locusts upon the Earth.
- Erwin Arroyo Perez, Founder and EIC of The Poetry Lighthouse
A wonderful, thought-provoking collection of poems about our planet - from exploration of Nature and the human experience - to reflections on the role of humans in the planetary crisis. I particularly valued the Stewardship and Beyond poems for their challenge and vision.
- Carolyn Stephens, Professor of Ecology & Global Health, University College London/London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine/University of Primorska
