The Soil Never Sleeps by Adam Horovitz

  • Article Intro: A book following a poet as he learns more about the land, and the workings of it, then he ever expected to.

The Soil Never Sleeps follows four farms, in Yorkshire, Cornwall, Kent and Wales, across four seasons and at two farms in Exmoor over two seasons. It takes an in-depth look at the workings of the farms, weaving the landscape, the animals and the farmers’ voices deep into the poetry.
