The full text of the Annual Tony McManus Lecture by Mairi McFadyen at our recent Geopoetics Day in Leith is now up on our website. It also has a link to the outstanding slides she used. It was a powerful and truly life-affirming lecture in which she outlined in the first part 'A Journey into Geopoetics' the Climate and political Emergency we all face. In the second part 'Finding Radical Hope in Geopoetics' she suggests how best we can respond to it. DEFINITELY A MUST READ! http://www.geopoetics.org.uk/mcmanus-geopoetics-lecture-mairimcfadyen/ …
