Alex South, Katherine Wren and I are part of the Arts plenary of the Arctic Sciences Study Week. Our programme, ‘Arctic Sentinels’, responds to the still fragile presence of whales and other species in the polar seas. Our performance will include work commissioned for this event.
The venue for the conference is Pollock Estate, at the edge of Holyrood Park.
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
