# Vorest by Rose Day  (Paperback)

_We were born into the no more_  
_The no more warm smell of a cattle shed_  
_my grandfather's hands, worn and beaten_  
_became withered and pale, his buckets empty_  
_fields aching with emptiness_

A stag runs into the forest, along the hedge and into the shadow of branches, carrying with it the trace of a memory.

Time and nature have shaped the Forest of Dean - and the people who call it home. Always changing, this landscape carries the marks of every generation.

Steeped in the scent of moss, Rose Day's debut collection is both a mourning and a celebration of the land, culture and history of the Vorest

_With illustrations by Jeremy Brookes_
