Les Animots: A Human Bestiary
(Les Animots: A Human Bestiary offers fresh insights into ...)
Les Animots: A Human Bestiary offers fresh insights into how humans share the planet with a wide range of creatures, great and small. This remarkable collaboration between seasoned poet and artist subverts our common perceptions of familiar and unfamiliar animals by approaching them with knowledge, compassion and robust, good humour. Gordon Meade is a Scottish poet who lives in Fife. Over the past twenty years or so he has divided his time between his own writing, devising creative writing courses for vulnerable young people in a variety of settings, and reading from his own work in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. He has been a Fellow in Creative Writing at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Writer in Residence for Dundee District Libraries, and a Royal Literary Fellow attached to the University of Dundee. Les Animots is his eighth collection of poetry. Douglas Robertson was born in Dundee and now lives in Hampshire. An artist and teacher, he has exhibited widely throughout Scotland and the UK and his work is in many public collections, including the Scottish Fisheries Museum in Fife. He has collaborated with numerous writers, and his recent collaboration with Donald S. Murray, The Guga Stone, was included in The Guardian's top 25 nature books of 2013.
