Such Fragile Futures: An Artist and a Poet Reflect in a Garden
Such Fragile Futures: An Artist and a Poet Reflect in a Garden
Dr Neil's Garden in Edinburgh is an urban haven, a place that has something to tell us about all places.
With delicacy and tender attention, artist Brigid Collins and poet Christine De Luca respond to the garden, looking deeply into how it feeds a vital and growing sensitivity towards our fragile futures.
With a shared vision, technical finesse and grace of expression, Christine De Luca and Brigid Collins evoke a sense of the unique nature of Dr Neil's Garden, confirming the imagination and philosophy behind its creation.—Stewart Conn, Edinburgh poet and the city's inaugural Makar
If we allow ourselves, we can slip into slow time and experience the world from a different perspective. This beautiful book transports us to a different mode of being through which we can feel part of something much bigger than ourselves.—Sue Stuart-Smith, author of The Well-Gardened Mind
Imbued with care and attention, this book conjures a particular landscape of spirit and earth. Both artist and poet express a reverence for the unknowable with humility and tenderness.—Dr Kitty Wheater, Mindfulness Chaplain at the University of Edinburgh
