This is ananthology built from a shared passion for often overlooked and threatenedlandscapes — bogs and other peatlands. And like peat, this book is full ofliving things, including stories. Stories of scientific study, archaeologicaldiscovery; personal stories of suffering and growth. Stories in fiction andfact; in poetry. Stories of damage and threat; of Walshaw Moor; of adventureand love; the peatlands of Papua New Guinea, the Flow Country, Cors Caron andmuch more.  Thisanthology from more than forty writers steeped in the landscape of the moorsincludes poetry, stories and essays from deep in the peatlands – a collectionthat delves deep into bogs, the glow of moss, black water and the sweep ofmoorland, the heather burning, the whisky tang of peat. It is a collection ofnature, of history of myth.This book is a collaboration between The Boggarts, a group of writers working to protect peatlands, and especially Walshaw Moor, Little Toller Books and Bluemoose Books.The contributors are: Robert Macfarlane, Amy Liptrot, Patti Smith, Horatio Clare, NicolaChester, Alys Fowler, Gwynneth Lewis, Guy Shrubsole, Polly Atkin, Louis Bailey,Naomi Booth, Anne Caldwell, Claire O’Callaghan, Anna Chilvers, Jane Clarke,Amanda Dalton, Jasmine Donahaye, Ella Duffy, Glyn Edwards, Abbi Flint, VictoriaGatehouse, Melanie Giles, George Gunn, Sally Huband, Ian Humphreys, JenniferJones, Emma Linford, Carola Luther, Michael Malay, Bunty May, Kim Moore, DavidMorley, Donald S Murray, Gregory Norminton, Sonia Overall, George Parr, PascalePetit, Anita Roy, Clare Shaw, Harriet Tarlo, Amanda Thomson, Johnny Turner,Sophie Underwood, Annie Worsley.
