Publisher Description
Finding profound moments in the natural world, M.A.C.
Farrant offers an antidote to the distractions and pressures of modern life.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of celebrating one feature
in nature every five days, creating seventy-two seasons instead of four,
Farrant embarks on a yearlong mission to focuses her attention on the small
spellbinding changes around her. With her signature humour, she skilfully
blends observations, meditations, literary references, memoir, essay-ettes and
arcane facts as she explores the natural world. From homely weeds to majestic
trees and the animals that cross her path, Farrant shares her deep noticing of
the changes of the seasons and along the way we learn with her how to slow down
and experience the world with awe and wonder.
