- Marc Nair, ‘Vital Posessions’ from ethosbooks 

𝘝𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 by marcmair contemplates how city-dwellers negotiate their uneasy relationship with nature in a world where growth is both man-made and natural. The jungle is always one trim away from over-running us and we are often oblivious to it. The poems question what we hold as vital amid ceaseless consumption and our urban existence. 🌳🏙️
