Landscape with Mines

Anna Bowles is a British humanitarian volunteer who has made six visits to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. In Landscape With Mines, her first poetry pamphlet, she draws the reader into the immediacy and struggle of daily life under existential threat, for those resisting the invasion or merely hoping to survive it. These poems are vivid, dramatic, aware and compassionate witness to pain and courage under extreme circumstances.
