After moving from London to a new home in Yorkshire, and about to become
a father for the first time, Rob Cowen finds himself in unfamiliar
territory. Disoriented, hemmed in by winter and yearning for open space,
he ventures out to a nearby edge-land: a pylon-slung tangle of wood,
hedge, field, meadow and river that lies unclaimed and overlooked on the
outskirts of town.
Digging deeper into this lost landscape,
he begins to uncover its many layers and lives - beast, bird, insect,
plant and people - in kaleidoscopic detail. As the seasons change and
the birth of his child draws closer, his transformative journey into the
blurry space where human and nature meet becomes increasingly profound.
In bringing this edge-land to life, Cowen offers both a both a unique
portrait of people and place through time and an unforgettable
exploration of the common ground we share with the natural world, the
past and each other.
