Gifts of Gravity and Light: A Nature Almanac for the Twenty-first Century

Gifts of Gravity and Light: A Nature Almanac for the Twenty-first Century

Anita Roy
4.3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
With a foreword from Bernardine Evaristo and contributions from the likes of Simon Armitage and Jackie Kay, Gifts of Gravity and Light is a stunning almanac featuring essays and poetry on nature's magical transformations throughout the four seasons.

The changing seasons of the year are an endless source of strangeness and wonder. Gifts of Gravity and Light invites you to experience Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter through fourteen different voices. Greet the arrival of spring in East London with a Cambodian new year's dance; watch sea otters at play in the summer sun; gather armfuls of hops in a Romany song to the autumn; yield to the icy stillness of winter in the Cairngorms or pine for 'sun drunk' days of a Jamaican childhood.

With a foreword by Bernardine Evaristo and contributions from Jackie Kay, Kaliane Bradley, Pippa Marland, Testament, Michael Malay, Tishani Doshi, Jay Griffiths, Luke Turner, Anita Roy, Raine Geoghegan, Zakiya McKenzie, Alys Fowler, Amanda Thomson and Simon Armitage, this almanac reflects not only the diversity of the writers featured, but the endlessly changing natural world itself.
