While traveling in wild places both nearby and further afield, on foot, by kayak or by 4WD I am often encouraged to write: most often I write while sitting on a rock — to feel the earth beneath me … and it seems here, that I know more than I know …
In September 2014 I published a collection called ephemeral. It brings together some of of my ”wild-place” writings together with images of small ephemeral artworks made in the bush.
Our contemporary world has become disconnected from nature and its mysteries — to our own peril. The intention of ephemeral is to reconnect readers to nature one-story-at-a-time (visual or text). ephemeral brings nature and wild places into our homes — it is my hope that readers will (and many have told me that they do) pick up ephemeral every now to be reminded of the fragility, beauty and depth of nature and that we are intertwined — we are it and it is us.
The book specs: 74 pages, hard cover with dust jacket, features 30 poems and 31 colour images.
