Advance Praise
“William Searle’s book, Lungs of My Earth, is an inspiring and heart-warming read. The author has been able to weave together a sense of the sacred with a sense of the place. Here in this book the love for the landscape meets the imagination of the intellect. The resulting prose is a beautiful narrative. It is a pilgrimage through life as well as through the land.” —Satish Kumar, founder and director of Schumacher College, editor of Reurgence Magazine
“Lungs of my Earth evokes particular places dear to the author, sweeping them into our imaginations with a rush of delighted language to create ‘a luminous map of the sacred’. Part field-work and part sky-dreaming, it is at once exact and exultant—a vibrant song to the earth and echo chamber of the earth’s own singing.” —Sir Andrew Motion, UK Poet Laureate, 1999-2009, President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England
