Inspiration through Nature

Brambleby Books specialises in natural history, with an emphasis on biodiversity, conservation and the environment. Our aim is to bring alive the variety and splendour of the natural world in the form of narrative descriptions, often interfaced with poetry and/or the visual arts. We also wish to promote natural history as a leisure pursuit.

Our Poetry Books

Poem of the month

The Poet

Why talk of

education of the mind,

and yet,

learn things by heart?

Is not reason sounder

than the reflex?

Or is the body

driven by a different demand?

Is not the rule of law

the arbitrator

between reflex

and reason?

No, surely

the poet is arbitrator

between the head and heart

by imagination.
Keith Davies, from Up High and Invisible
