Between 31 March and 13 May, 2020, Giles Watson went into self-isolation during the Covid-19 outbreak, and sought mental and spiritual refreshment in memories of some of his most beloved landscapes. Illustrated with photographs from his years in England, A Glister of Leaves revisits the megalithic monuments, woodlands and chalk downlands of southern Oxfordshire, recalls encounters with exquisite insects, and celebrates the gifts of solitude and quiet observation. The poems in this collection will revive the spirits of all who seek solace in the natural world during times of crisis.
