The flora growing on stone walls. An old clematis by the front door. The 'weeds' and other roadside sights on a drive to work through lockdown. A local cemetery, locked and slowly returning to nature. And a nature reserve brought even more alive through the wonders of technology. Jackie Kirkham's first collection of poetry, inspired by the nature and landscape around her home in Scotland, continues her first book The Calm Place's exhortation to notice the nature on the doorstep, and find beauty in the ordinary.
