'This mini-anthology delights in all things earthy, including those often unseen creatures like moles and worms who live and work underground. As we’re reminded elsewhere, “the soil never sleeps”.  These poems recognise good earth as something that’s living and precious, which is why we’re delighted to include a message from the Soil Association about their important work.
