Description
Beyond the Fell Wall is a poetic enquiry into the inanimate life of a landscape - its unheard melodies and unseen movements. Richard Skelton's thoughts and observations on this particular patch of land are distilled into a distillation of his experiences, exploring the inanimate life of a valley high in the Furness hills of Cumbria.
The book considers both vast geological epochs and brief moments of intimacy, asking us to consider sentience in all things - animal, vegetable and mineral. At its heart is the fell wall itself - a vast, serpentine entity. A vessel for the lives, voices and myths of the landscape. The dark heart about which all of life and death revolves.
With illustrations by Michael Kirkman, this volume of landscape writing follows in the footsteps of notable writers on nature and the environment. It is set to become a highly sought-after and collectable book for those interested in poetry and the natural world.
