Little Book O’ Moss by Corinna Board

Description

slimy thing        a not-quite-mossling sticks
persists        spreads to the rock-shade

Little Book O’ Moss is a bright glimpse into the miniature world of moss. Multi-vocal and full of green whisperings, we find tales of deep time and mossy resistance, springing up from found texts and studies of the Chernobyl exclusion zone. It digs its roots deep into ecology and botany, with a lyric precision. Here is a portrait of one of our most important and overlooked plants.
