Hardback. Condición: Good. "In her contemplative memoir, Polly Atkin encourages everyone, especially those with chronic illnesses, to look beyond their own history and see the beauty in their world." --The Washington Post "Defiant and dazzling." --Freya Bromley, author of The Tidal Year  "Essential reading." --Jessica J. Lee, author of Turning "Long before I knew I was sick, I knew I was breakable." After years of unexplained health problems, Polly Atkin's perception of her body was rendered fluid and disjointed. When she was finally diagnosed with two chronic conditions in her thirties, she began to piece together what had been happening to her- all the misdiagnoses, the fractures, the dislocations, the bone-crushing exhaustion, and on top of it all, not being believed by the very people who were meant to listen. Some of Us Just Fall combines memoir, pathography and nature writing to trace a journey through illness- a journey which led Atkins to her cottage in England's Lake District, where every day she turns to the lakes and land that inspire poets old and new to help manage, and purportedly cure, her chronic illness. Join her as she delves into shimmering waters, selkie dreams, and the history of her two genetic conditions to uncover and learn from how they were managed (or not) in times gone by. Beautiful and deeply personal, Some of Us Just Fall is essential reading on the cost of medical misogyny and gaslighting, the illusion of 'the nature cure', and the dangers of ableism both systematic and internalized. This is not a book about getting better. This is a book about living better with illness. …

Paperback. Condición: New. To swim is an act of attention: to the self, and to everything beyond it.Follow poet and nature writer Polly Atkin as she swims through the turning year in the rivers, lakes and tarns of the English Lake District, in this lyrical ode to the uplifting power of water. This is a love story between a person and a place. It is a story of acceptance, persistence and finding joy in the everyday, as eight years of outdoor swimming through every season deepen Atkin's knowledge and understanding of both the landscape she calls home and her disabled body.Each month in the water reveals how a life lived with pain can be as rich, rewarding and full of delight as any other. Atkin swims for the sheer pleasure of it, showing how that pleasure may be found in every season, even by those who find the cold neither thrilling nor soothing. She reminds us of the quiet power of noticing the lives alongside ours - birds, plants and people. And through paying attention to herself and to the living world around her, she finds swimming becomes a transformative force, a kind of natural magic through which the extraordinary is revealed day after day, year after year.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This addition to our series of UK regional titles brings the drama and beauty of the Lake District landscape into glorious focus. We encounter dry-stone walls, sublime heights, lakes (of course) and experience an evening dip in the cooling waters of a tarn. The selection wouldn't be complete without a poem by Wordsworth who captures the tranquillity of a quiet valley in a moment of typically blissful contemplation: A soft eye-music of slow-waving boughs, Powerful almost as vocal harmony stay the wanderer's steps and soothe his thoughts. - from 'Aira Force Valley' by William Wordsworth The double-edged sword of tourism is also present in a sonnet which imagines what this most famous of Lakes Poets would make of the world of postcards and car parks. The poem's conclusion is a reminder that the sublime will outlive any human interference. Polly Atkin is a poet who lives and works in the Lake District. Poems by Polly Atkin, Rachael Bates, Paul Farley, Katie Hale, Matthew Hollis, Eileen Pun, Tom Rawling, Reshma Ruia, William Wordsworth and David Wright. Cover illustration by Mark A Pearce.
