“Harrison has collapsed [ ] preconceptions of order – the constituencies of a tradition, its music and narrative, along with their predefined ideas of beauty and the sublime … She has written over them all in her own salt water ink, dissolving the bloodied stories of the past and turning their words into rich organic matter”

“Lesley Harrison is a writer of consistent brilliance … Kitchen Music is a meticulously crafted Northern Hymnal … essential reading for anyone keen to understand why poetry remains a unique force for change on this planet.”

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.
