Description
The wilderness is closer than you think. Edgelands reveals the often-overlooked spaces that exist between city and countryside - mobile masts, gravel pits, business parks, and landfill sites - which are rich in mystery and beauty. Poets Paul Farley and Michael Symmons Roberts explore these forgotten regions, challenging our notion of what constitutes 'wild'. By examining allotments, railways, motorways, wasteland, and water, they invite us to reconsider the value we place on these areas. Through their unique perspective, Edgelands forms a critique of our relationship with the natural world, highlighting the strange beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
