About the Book: The beautiful clarity of focus in this book will ground you, encouraging you to stop and listen to the grass growing. A verdant gathering intended to calm and restore. Spend time among the grasses and walk on with a heightened awareness of this overlooked yet vital plant family. Reviews: A celebration of greenery in its many wondrous forms and in every changeable season —from rushes to sedge, wild oats to hemp—and we find it shivering with life and beauty. This is florilegium as devotional text, a botanical catalogue of great artistic ambition. CAL FLYN, Writer The diversity of grasses is so important and is being remembered just as it's being lost. I loved this beautiful collaboration. AMY LIPTROT, Writer There’s a lot to enjoy and it’s not to be rushed… informative as well as a joy to the senses. ELEANOR MACLEOD, Ranger Full of everyday riches. I will try to overcome my plant blindness, and look not at grass, but the grasses! KEN COCKBURN, Poet and translator The collaboration is utterly beautiful. The two are equal partners and symbiotic. Each is augmented by the other and converses with it. JOHN GLENDAY, Poet It’s a delightful and deep curation, a reverence indeed. ROB MCGUIRE, Poet A luminous shaft of hope. RISSA DE LA PAZ, Facilitator I cannot see Carex echinata without these lines popping into my head! JOHN CROSSLEY, Botanist
