Swimming Between Islands

About this book

A lyrical exploration of identity, connection, and the landscapes that shape us.

Swimming Between Islands, Charlotte Eichler's debut collection, invites you into a world of distinctive weathers and atmospheres. Through vivid imagery and evocative language, Eichler explores themes of identity, family, and the search for connection in a world marked by silence and misunderstanding. From egg collectors and moth trappers to cuttlefish and pyjama sharks, the poems reveal the beauty and fragility of the natural world and our place within it.

This collection is for poetry lovers, literary enthusiasts, and anyone who seeks solace and reflection in the power of words. Discover a world where:

  • Islands become metaphors for the self and our relationships.
  • Nature reflects our deepest emotions and longings.
  • Family legacies shape our present and future.

Experience the astonishing poetry of Charlotte Eichler, where the personal and the natural intertwine to create a truly unforgettable reading experience.
