Thanks to @eandtbooks.bsky.social and @portyliterary.bsky.social for conspiring with me to bring this book out into the world and letting me have the ridiculous pleasure of making this #NatureWriting longlist two years in a row. #TheCompanyOfOwls

Moving Mountains is not about overcoming or conquering, but about living with and connecting, shifting the reader’s attention to the things easily overlooked by those who move through the world untroubled by the body that carries them.

Through 25 pieces, the writers offer a vision of nature that encompasses the close up, the microscopic and the vast.

From a single falling raindrop to the enormity of the north wind, this is nature experienced wholly and acutely, written from the perspective of disabled and chronically ill authors.
