'A refreshingly original meditation... I wish I had written it myself' Literary ReviewGraveyards are oases: places of escape, peace and reflection.Liminal sites of commemoration, where the past is close enough to touch.Yet they also reflect their living community - how in our restless, accelerated modern world, we are losing our sense of connection to the dead. Jean Sprackland - the prize-winning poet and author of Strands - travels back through her life, revisiting her once local graveyards.In seeking out the stories of those who lived and died there, remembered and forgotten, she unearths what has been lost.
