After a year of lockdowns, we asked five writers to tell us about their small journeys into the outside world. The invitation was to write about those patches of ground, water + sky close at hand which have seemed all the more precious while our access to the outdoors has been rationed. Are we looking with new eyes at the everyday? This is nature writing for a time when none of us are getting to go very far - a celebration of the ordinary and sometimes overlooked nature on our doorstep.
Original essays written and read by Max Porter (Grief is the Thing with Feathers; Lanny), Kerri ni Dochartaigh (Thin Places), Caleb Azumah Nelson (Open Water), the writer and visual artist Amanda Thomson and Bristol writer and academic Michael Malay (Late Light).
Produced in collaboration with Eliza Lomas. With original music by Nina Perry.
