Lent day 33, The Forests Remember

Spring is finally here, and what better time to dip into Scott Gwins book, The Forests Remember. (You can get it here.) His writing is saturated with deep connectedness to wild places, and the book also contains many of his drawings and photographs (like the one above.) There is a mystical, lyrical, quality to his work which seems to emerge from that same tradition as the great romantic traditions of Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats.

Here is a poem of Spring for example;

You may know that Scott works with his wife Josie on supporting community resilience via The Resilience Resource. Josie spoke about this and lots more on our podcast recently– if you have not listened yet we very much recommend it.

Here is one more of Scott’s beautiful poems.
