Description
They are places of resilience, resistance and freedom with a radical history (and the potential to be so again). They are blowsy dahlias, cricket on the radio and pigeons in lofts; buzzing bees and the wisdom of weeds and seeds.
This Allotment brings together twelve brilliant writers in a glorious celebration of these entirely unique spaces: plots that mean so much more than the soil upon which they sit.
Advance Praise
‘In this bounteous anthology, each vignette of allotment life is jewel-bright and tempting, like a plump beetroot pulled up from yielding earth or a handful of damp rhubarb stalks, shimmer-pink and glowing. On turning the book’s haunting final page, I could almost feel sun on my face and dirt beneath my fingernails.’ Laura Pashby, author of Chasing Fog
‘This is a celebration of community, belonging, intimacy, healing, reclamation, connection, growth, grief, birth, and joy and reminds us that sometimes, oftentimes, the simple act of planting a seed in the soil is enough for hope to grow.’ --Victoria Bennett, author of All My Wild Mothers
