Description:
This is an anthology built from a shared passion for often overlooked and threatened landscapes - bogs and other peatlands. And like peat, this book is full of living things, including stories. Stories of scientific study, archaeological discovery, and personal stories of suffering and growth. Stories in fiction and fact; in poetry. Stories of damage and threat; of Walshaw Moor; of adventure and love; the peatlands of Papua New Guinea, the Flow Country, Cors Caron and much more.
This book has contributions from more than forty writers steeped in the landscape of the moors, including poetry, stories and essays from deep in the peatlands - a collection that delves deep into bogs, the glow of moss, black water and the sweep of moorland, the heather burning, the whisky tang of peat. It is a collection of nature, of history and of myth.
