Both ancient and urgent, baffling and strangely familiar, megaliths are resonant presences in the landscapes.
In this book, eleven well-known writers offer compelling engagements with eleven megalithic sites in Britain and Ireland. These essays - the result of some fascinating fieldwork - lyrically animate cold stone and map dramatic emotional terrain.
Brave the elements, therefore, in the company of:
Jim Perrin; Bernard O'Donoghue; Tristan Hughes; Andrew McNeillie; Niall Griffiths; Gillian Clarke; Damian Walford Davies; Menna Elfyn; Elin ap Hywel; Jem Poster; David Constantine.
With a foreword by Jan Morris, Megalith is a reminder, as editor Damian Walford Davies points out, that 'for these who frequent stones and navigate by them, the megaliths are potent receivers through which one tunes into pressing modern frequencies'.
