<p><b>Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2023 for Nature Writing<br></b><br><b>''Exquisite, luminous and quietly radical</b> . . . <b>utterly unique and refreshing'' Lucy Jones</b><br><br>Where nothing grows, moss is the spark that triggers new life. Embarking on a journey though landscape, memory and recovery, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett explores this mysterious, ancient marvel of the plant world, meditating on and renaming her favourite mosses ¿ from Glowflake to Little Loss ¿ and drawing inspiration from place, people and language itself. <br><br><b>''Fascinating, subtle and risk-taking . . . Poetry, descriptive-evocative prose, memory, memoir, natural history and more all drift and mingle in strikingly new ways'' Robert Macfarlane</b><br></p>
