Find it!
Named for the strong fibres that a mussel uses to anchor itself to the seabed, 'Byssus' is an unsurprisingly rich and various collection but a book first and foremost about home, and what it takes to find and forge one. Through praise poems, love poems, charms and fables, Hadfield shows how speech itself affords us a means to inhabit and merge with a landscape, through a practice of attention and careful honouring.
