IPNHK – 1st October 2024. ‘The Margins of the Mother Tongue’ – discussion panel
A really interesting discussion about the effect of moving away from your home town/country and hoow this affects how you write about home. Pictured are poet and moderator James Shea, HK poet Florence NG, myself and poet, academic and translator Matthew Cheng.
Thank you also very much to Matthew for translating my poems into Chinese.
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.
