In her essay By the Book - Herbs, Creativity and Ways of Knowing in Stravaig #6, Elizabeth Rimmer says, 'We are already developing new ways of thinking and speaking, new sensitivities to how other people express their experience.
As a poet, I find this enormously exciting and fruitful. Geopoetics has helped me navigate the fields of both arts and sciences, to draw connections and understand experience in new and creative ways, to revive old insights and give them new relevance.
I don’t think I will ever leave books behind, but the herbs on the one hand, and the enormous diverse resources of the internet on the other, are creating ways to cross-fertilise and renew our ways of understanding and expressing the earth.' Please read & share: http://bit.ly/Stravaig6

‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes,” Marcel Proust. These quotes are from Susannah King's account of her workshop in http://bit.ly/Stravaig6 . ‘We explored the landscape witnessed on the various trips via a Claude Glass reflecting and recording as we moved from place to place. We took Polaroid photographs and in some cases scratched into the surface to make new narratives. Out on trips we collected natural and manmade elements to use in Cyanotype printing.’
