Other Kingdoms

Dougie Strang in 'Badger Dissonance', In Other Tonuges, Dartington (photo: Em Strang)

‘Uncivilised writing … sets out to paint a picture of homo sapiens which a being from another world or, better, a being from our own – a blue whale, an albatross, a mountain hare – might recognise as something approaching a truth.’
