Moving Mountains is a first-of-its-kind anthology of nature writing by authors living with chronic illness and physical disability, edited by Louise Kenwood.
Through twenty-five pieces, the writers of Moving Mountains 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.
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.
Isobel's chapter, Not Healing, Never Healed documents a period spent walking next to the River Ouse, when sitting and lying down had become intensely painful, and reflects on the role of nature in accepting illness and change as a body moving through time and space.
