To The Land, 2016 (Extract – first three sections)

It starts like this: with the sound of rain, heard, not on leaves, or the roof of a hut, but from deep inside the earth.

And it starts like this: with wild cyclamen - the architecture of its petals like a folded secret, their colour resonantly pink against the damp brown of late summer soil. A flower as riddle.

And it starts like this: with the three most common characteristics of gardeners – economy; simplicity and hospitality. And with the names of patron saints of gardens: St Fiacre; St Isidore; and St Phocas.
