Towards Re-enchantment
Gareth Evans, who is curating the event The Re-enchantment (an upcoming Sebald-oriented event in Snape Maltings about which I wrote recently) has sent along a link for a newly-published book that should be of interest to Vertigo readers. Towards Re-enchantment is described as:
A unique anthology of original poems and essays commissioned by innovative arts agency Artevents from eleven of Britain’s finest writers and poets, reflecting on the meaning of ‘re-enchantment’ in reference to a specific place or region of their choosing in the British Isles. The multiple award-winning writers are Elisabeth Bletsoe, Lavinia Greenlaw, Jay Griffiths, Kathleen Jamie, Richard Mabey, Robert Macfarlane, Alice Oswald, Jane Rendell, Robin Robertson, Iain Sinclair and Ken Worpole.
Each piece of writing is complemented by original illustration, photography and artwork.
