SENTIENT
A Litany
for a Hedgerow

     
 

 

 

For Wordsworth, a hedgerow was hardly a hedgerow
but a little line 'of sportive wood run wild'.
In this work, JLM Morton and Susie Hetherington
run wild with the hedgerow,
unveiling its secrets, naming its parts
and celebrating its part in our lives.
an important and intriguing sense of place and time.

Beautifully presented as a concertina-folded
mixture of poetry and drawings, Sentient offers
a 'conversation with the natural world'
and 'a meditation on hedgerows,
resilience & renewal'
and echoes the tradition of the illuminated manuscript,
in a contemporary take on the Book of Hours.

Sentient will be available shortly.

 

 

 

 

between

wild and world

be the buzzard

read the palm

of sky

 

ignite

 

the blue flame of sky

 

do not say how
the early colour
of spring is not green
but arterial red
