Sinopsis

During troubled times, one thing that keeps us sane is the beauty and diversity of the British countryside - and indeed the natural world generally. This collection of 48 poems distils the emotional connection between poet and wildlife, focusing on an array of plant and animal species. Notes and photographs accompany each poem to further intrigue the reader. The award-winning author, Dr. Tim Gardiner, is a professional ecologist, with a special passion for grasshoppers and crickets, and has contributed greatly to the conservation of wildlife in Britain. For him, the natural world is both a mirror and an anvil, to reflect his own personal loves and longings, triumphs and failures.
