A very special book - a divine, meditative and inspiring diary of Derek Jarman's famous garden at Dungeness.

About the Author

Derek Jarman was born in London in 1942. His career spanned decades and genres, from painter, theatre designer, director, film maker, to poet, writer, campaigner and gardener. His features include Sebastiane (1976), Jubilee (1978), Caravaggio (1986), The Last of England (1987), Edward II (1991) and Blue (1993). His paintings - for which he was a Turner Prize nominee in 1986 - continue to be exhibited worldwide, and his garden in Dungeness remains a site of pilgrimage to fans and newcomers alike.

Reviews

The most beautiful & furious book of all time
*Olivia Laing*

An essential – urgent – book for the 21st Century
*Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of the Serpentine Gallery*

A marvellous, moving book
*Sunday Telegraph*

Jarman gave his garden a certain narrative; perhaps he treated it a bit like a film or theatre set. His films were visionary, eccentric, romantic and rebellious, all of which could also be said about his garden
*Guardian*

It's hard not to warm to the man who, in the face of all the personal and professional hardships described in this book, can still regard himself as 'the most fortunate film-maker of my generation
*Guardian*
