SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE 2024
Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2023 for Nature Writing
'Exquisite, luminous and quietly radical . . . utterly unique and refreshing' Lucy Jones
Where nothing grows, moss is the spark that triggers new life. Embarking on a journey though landscape, memory and recovery, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett explores this mysterious, ancient marvel of the plant world, meditating on and renaming her favourite mosses – from Glowflake to Little Loss – and drawing inspiration from place, people and language itself.
'Fascinating, subtle and risk-taking . . . Poetry, descriptive-evocative prose, memory, memoir, natural history and more all drift and mingle in strikingly new ways' Robert Macfarlane
Elizabeth-Jane Burnett is a poet whose work explores environmental issues through creative writing. She is the author of The Grassling, an exploration of memory and natural history, as well as Twelve Words for Moss, which was shortlisted for the 2023 Wainwright Prize. Burnett is a contributor to The Guardian's 'Country Diary' column and has also published two poetry collections: Swims, a Sunday Times Poetry Book of the Year, and Of Sea.
