'A refreshingly original meditation... I wish I had written it
myself' Literary Review Graveyards 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.
