Prize-winning poet and artist Catherine Hyde celebrates the magic of the night from dusk till dawn, following the owl's journey in a gorgeous gift book of full-colour paintings.
Shortlisted for the Holyer an Gof poetry award 2024.
‘Darkling is a magnificent praise song that honours both the darkness and the owl. Lyrical in both word and image, it is a wild triumph’ Jackie Morris
I turn
to the old orchard
where she hunts:
a ghost glimmering
sweet heart of the moon.
Swooping between trees,
a beating clock of claw and feather,
hush winged, in half light
As we sleep, the forest comes to life. The owl swoops. Moths dance in the moonlight, fireflies mimic the stars, a stag grazes, badgers burrow, foxes prowl, ferns catch the dew.
Resplendent, arresting artwork alongside an original poem. Prepare to be enchanted by the creatures of the night.
