The bog: ancient, a carbon sink, energy source, way of life, ecosystem, childhood memory. A place of heritage, of nature, of inspiration. With contributions from both award-winning authors and first time writers, this anthology showcases how bogs connect us to our natural and ancestral roots, while also exploring themes of heritage, the rural working-class, and ecological and historical conservation. A collection of original poetry and prose, Those who Listen explores the ecological, historical, and cultural significance of the Irish bog.
