Word and Stone

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of language and matter, this collection delves into themes of the sacred and the renewal of spiritual language within a materialist culture. It celebrates the natural and historical landscapes of Hampshire and South Wales, while featuring elegies that honor friends and influential poets like T. S. Eliot and James Schuyler. Central to the work is the concept of 'quickness,' examining how words can breathe life into stone and connect with the essence of the departed.
