ON THE ATLANTIC EDGE: A GEOPOETICS PROJECT

"Kenneth White is one of the most daring of Europe's writers, thinkers and teachers. Breaking out the bounds of a limiting culture he left Scotland for France with his wife, Marie-Claude, in 1967. There he held first the Chair of 20th Century Poetics at the Sorbonne, later founding the International Institute of Geopoetics which now has centres in various countries, including Scotland and England. In 2005 he became the first Hi-Arts International Arts Fellow, presenting a series of three lectures in Wester Ross, Inverness and Orkney. As ever his words were pregnant with intimations of what is possible. It was the beginning of a journey he now continues with Sandstone Press in a series of substantial works entitled The Highliner series"--publisher description.
