Perfect for deep thinkers and avid readers, our Deep Reads subscription sends three books each season, a total of twelve each year and includes invitations to our gatherings and author conversations.
In addition to our regular reads, this option adds an additional book each season with something profound to say about the opportunities and challenges of this moment.
Subscribe today and you'll start with our current season, which features a selection of books to insulate against the coming cold with myth and mystery:
Smoke Hole; Looking to the Wild in the Time of the Spyglass by Martin Shaw - an invitation and a passionate call to arms to use these stories to face the complexities of contemporary life, from fake news, parenthood, climate crises, addictive technology and more.
Martin has a magical way of sneaking you up behind the monstrous issues of the moment.
Amy-Jane Beer's
The Flow: Rivers, Water and Wildness - a visit to the rapid where she lost a cherished friend reignites Amy-Jane Beer's love of rivers setting her on a journey of natural, cultural and emotional discovery.
Like water, The Flow meanders, cascades and percolates through many lives, landscapes and stories. From West Country torrents to Levels and Fens, rocky Welsh canyons, the salmon highways of Scotland and the chalk rivers of the Yorkshire Wolds, Amy-Jane follows springs, streams and rivers to explore tributary themes of wildness and wonder, loss and healing, mythology and history, cyclicity and transformation.
Plus our deep read, the a rare fiction feature for the bedazzling Helm from the twice-Booker-nominated writer Sarah Hall.
Helm is an astonishing literary masterpiece that explores faith, connection, and our relationship to the natural world. The eponymous Helm is a ferocious, mischievous wind — a subject of folklore and awe, part-elemental god, part-aerial demon blasting through the sublime landscape of Northern England since the dawn of time.
The book tells the stories of those who’ve obsessed over Helm, to sculpt an extraordinary history. Rich, wild, and vital, Helm is the story of a singular life force, and of the relationship between nature and people, neither of whom can weather life without the other.
This is an annual subscription, which will be delivered in four seasonal shipments, each accompanied with a letter from our founder and invitations to upcoming gatherings.
As a gift subscription, this is a one off payment which will not renew automatically at the end of the year.
The books which follow will differ from the illustrative titles pictured, which includes some past issues.
