Antlers of Water : writing on the nature and environment of Scotland , edited by Kathleen Jamie, is published by Canongate in August 2020. My section – pp51-61 – is an extract from a poem-map of coastal Angus [still under construction]. The extract begins with a series of poems written after the exhibition Natural Selection by Andy Holden and Peter Holden.

Lesley Harrison lives and works on the Angus coast. In her writing, she explores how it is to live at the southern, temperate edge of a much colder northern world. She has held writing residencies in Greenland, Iceland and Svalbard. Drawing from archives, folk myth and cultural memory as well as her own explorations and experience, her poetry and prose make real our negotiation with, and our constant striving to give meaning and scale to, this unstable and ultimately unknowable space. She is a member of the North Sea Poets collective - northseapoets.com. View all posts by lesleyharrisonpoetry
