Things That Are: Encounters with Plants, Stars and Animals [Dec 01, 2017] Leach, Amy

Amy Leachs debut collection of creative non-fiction displays a remarkable fusion of enchanting poetic language, quirky humour and factual information relating to the natural world and our communion with it. From lilies and peas, frogs and beavers to the moon, constellations and exploding stars, each of these 26 short pieces is filled with what Olivia Laing has called a tumultuous, incantatory rejoicing in the astonishing multiplicity of the Earth.
