In Bark & Bone, thirty-three writers venture into the woods in search of refuge, enchantment and buried secrets. They find the forest a site of mutation, throwing up a continual translation between the human and the arboreal. While some travellers thrive in the backwoods, others lose themselves entirely.
Mushroom pickers, witches and eco-activists stalk the undergrowth, alongside all manner of creatures. But whether spellbound, synthetic or alien, these trees call to the wilderness within us all. Light your lamp before you enter.
