"What happens when you combine Britain's best-loved poets, some of the loveliest lines ever written about the countryside and a few wise words from the Prince of Wales? The answer is an enthralling new book called Our Common Ground..."
Vernon Harwood, BBC Radio.
"This fine anthology... draws together many of the most loved poems about the countryside... a truly rounded collection."
Land & Business magazine.
"Many thanks indeed for... your gorgeous anthology. What production values! And an attentiveness to detail and precision that's getting rarer and rarer. This is how poetry publishing ought to be managed: with thoroughness, accuracy and minimum fuss."
Mario Petrucci, poet
Our Common Ground
An anthology of countryside poems
This book is a poetic celebration of the richness and diversity of the British countryside and its rural traditions, including farming. It is published by Silverdart in association with The Royal Agricultural University (formerly The Royal Agricultural College).
More than 100 poems from 82 modern and traditional poets, including Brian Patten, Roger McGough, Ted Hughes, Andrew Motion, Seamus Heaney, William Shakespeare and John Keats, are brought together to provide a diverse and accessible collection of responses to the beauty and power of ‘our common ground’.
The book was first published privately for the benefit of the RAU's students - and is available to the wider public.
