Unstintingly fabulous; humane, wide open, loving the natural world and our place within it. Ranks alongside the best of the best.

A beautiful collection of poems exploring the spiritual journey with a rare honesty and earthiness by Adrian Scott, an almost-priest, poet, spiritual director and organisational consultant who also works extensively in the field of male spirituality.
