Abstract
Wandering through the wilds and fields from Exmoor to Australia, and featuring the voices of farmers, vets, explorers and other folk with muddy feet, this collection of non-fiction and poetry burrows into the heat of a swarm of bees, confronts death on the hillside and in the heart of the home, explores the imagination of nightingales, and asks what silence means when nature is always speaking.At a time when ecosystems and species face a global crisis, this work celebrates the power of roots and rootedness in the rich soil of family, memory, and community, revealing them as pathways to a life entwined with the natural world on which we all depend.
