One is in everything. One lives throughout the universe and beyond
One of the most remarkable women writers of the mid-twentieth century, Margiad Evans is a key post-modern Welsh author in the English language.
Written as a series of nature journals, Margiad Evans' Autobiography (), is an extraordinary experiment in what she called 'earth writing'. It explores in delicate and precise detail the writer's intensely-felt, even mystical relationship with the natural world.

A meditation on the difficulty of translating the reality of the 'now' into words, Autobiography traces a spiritual journey towards understanding the profound connection between all living things.
