This selection of poems is introduced by shepherdess and textile designer Alison O’Neill who lives on a hill top farm in Cumbria, tending her flock of native Herdwicks, Swaledales and Rough Fells. The poems reflect the hardships and quiet joys of the shepherding year, and the deep relationship between humans and sheep developed down the centuries. We’re encouraged to look at these humble creatures afresh and to reflect on the simplicity of their lives

“Thousands of sheep, soft-footed, black-nosed sheep – one by one going up the hill and over the fence – one by one four-footed pattering up and over – one by one wiggling their stub tails…”
from ‘Sheep’ by Carl Sandburg
