Wild Winter

Winter is called the temporary death of the land. But what if the season when trees sleep is the moment when we are most reminded we are alive?

From the solitude of a windswept hilltop to the white ghosts of swans flying along a river into the night, this anthology is a reflection of the magic of winter. It is full of the longing for winters past, a witness to our footsteps in the snow. It is the hush of standing in a frozen woodland, warm breath misting in the air.

Twenty-eight authors from across the British Isles create a portrait of a landscape in winter. Together, they reveal how the deepest silence of the coldest months acts as a mirror of our place in it.

An anthology of poetry and prose about life at the darkest time of the year

Deep in the valley
moss springs underfoot,
chilled.
