Robert Macfarlane’s lyrical musings explore and celebrate our relationship with landscape and nature.
He’s a prize-winning author, a lyricist, librettist and spoken-word performer and he’s collaborated with artists, musicians and actors, including Willem Dafoe.
At the heart of his latest book is the idea that a river is a living being…will that then inspire his Inheritance Tracks?
Inherited: River Man by Nick Drake
Pass on: Monkey Gone to Heaven by Pixies
Producers: Catherine Powell and Minnie Harrop
