Edgelands

In the spaces between the city and the countryside, a wilderness lurks - untamed, unnoticed, and utterly captivating. "Edgelands" is a poetic exploration of these liminal landscapes, the forgotten fringes where nature reclaims her sovereignty. Paul Farley and Michael Symmons Roberts guide us on a lyrical journey through England's true wildlands, those overlooked corners where urban sprawl and rural idyll collide. With eloquent prose, they unveil the raw beauty and resilience of these in-between places, inviting us to embrace the untended, the ignored, and the gloriously unkempt.

Together, they weave a tapestry of words that captures the essence of England's edgelands, inviting readers to see these liminal spaces through new eyes and find wonder in the wilderness on our very doorsteps.
