Am truly delighted to be part of this collective. We are a group of poets living on or near Scotland’s North Sea coast who have been meeting for some time now to share poems and to discuss issues arising in the practice and publishing of poetry.
We are deeply committed to excellence in poetry as an artform, and who believe in the equal importance of spiritual, literary, practical and technical insight in the making of a poem.
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
