'This book is about knowledge found in grief - of the body and its entanglements, and of the way it responds, moves, and is altered when someone leaves the earth. The body, holding the temporal discipline of capital wants to move forward, but sometimes doesn’t. Loss too opens a space that is out of synch, it stays very still. Petal is Chelsea Hart's meditation on loss, love, ecology, motherhood, labour, of our entanglements and how we are always in collaboration in unintentional ways.' (Publication summary)
