Description
Derek Jarman's diary of his famous garden at Dungeness is a powerful account of his life as an HIV positive man in the 1980s. The garden, which he created on the barren coast of his cottage, became a source of solace and inspiration as he faced an uncertain future. Through the garden's story, Jarman reflects on his childhood, his time as a young gay man in the 1960s, and his renowned career as an artist, writer, and film-maker. The garden, which flourished in unexpected ways despite the harsh coastal environment, became a symbol of Jarman's own resilience and creativity. This new edition of Modern Nature features an introduction from Olivia Laing, adding new depth and context to Jarman's story. A poignant and thought-provoking book, Modern Nature is a meditation on life, love, and the natural world.
