Synopsis

Between Flowers, Monsters and Mushrooms by Ben Featherstone is a wandering collection of wonderfully imperfect poetry, short stories and unique thoughts on life, forming a contemporary poetry and literary fiction audiobook. It is inspired from the humorous, peculiar sometimes dark margins of ordinary life experience. Expect stories and poems which go against standard structures and topics, written on and off from the age of 8 to 40 years old. 
Ben Featherstone is a composer and musician, some of his contemporary compositions are featured in this book, all of which are mastered at Abbey Road Studio's London. 
Moving through pubs, bedrooms, streets, memories and moments of quiet contemplation, Featherstone writes about beauty where it shouldn’t exist and tenderness where it is least expected. Love appears unfinished, men behave badly, women are luminous and dangerous, and meaning is often found by accident rather than design. 
This is not a book of answers. It is a book of noticing. Of walking without a map. Of humour rubbing shoulders with grief, and intimacy sitting uncomfortably between the cracks that let the light in. It is the fox looking upon the badger in the sea and realising he is not the furthest from home. 
At times romantic, at times raw, and often funny in the wrong places, Between Flowers, Monsters and Mushrooms is a poetry and short stories audiobook for listeners who prefer honesty over resolution, and beauty over certainty - leaning towards writing from the heart rather than following traditional poetry and story structures.
