Delighted to be contributing to the North Sea Poetssubstack. Writing these short think pieces is such a great way to think through what you want to say in one line of a poem.
North Sea Poets is a collective of poets and writers of national and international reputation, all based here on the east coast of Scotland. We offer online masterclasses, workshops and webinars for poets and readers in the UK and Ireland, and across the world.
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
