Across four seasons and a luminous series of poems and illustrations, Rob Cowen and Nick Hayes paint a picture of a year caught in the grip of history yet filled with revelatory perspectives close at hand. A sparrow hawk hunting in a back street; the moon over a town with a loved one's hand held tight; butterflies massing in a high-summer yard - the everyday wonders and memories that shape a life and help us recall our own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Heeding\u003c\/i\u003e leads us on a journey that takes its markers and signs from nature and a world filled with fear and pain but beauty and wonder too. Collecting birds, animals, trees and people together, it is a profound meditation to a time no one will forget. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At its heart, this is a book that helps us look again, to heed: to be attentive to this world we share, to grieve what's lost and to hope for a better and brighter tomorrow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The light shines through this book. Poetry is a kind of breathing space and Rob Cowen has taken to it. Domestic in the best sense of the word - small scale, intimate, known - it is tender in as many senses of that word as there are.
