Not a house in sight. Stripped, wind-swept moorland, gritstone walls in bad repair, snow quite likely. Here we wait, as if waiting for the return of truthful politics. 'Truth, Justice, and the Companionship of Owls' Peter Riley longbarrowpress.com/current-public…

Like holding a young child on a wall to see the sea for the first time, at dawn, the world’s thought-task, vast, and simple, and irreversible. - Peter Riley Thanks to everyone who has supported us in 2024, whether you've bought books, advocated for us, or helped in other ways.
