Table of ContentsReviews'The work being done by Skelton and Richardson in projects such as Reliquiae is both ground-breaking and ground-preserving; in that rare feat of imagination, the future of a culture is mapped using ancient methods, connecting the natural heritage of the English landscape to a way of speaking and thinking that we are still to resolve. A Corbel Stone Press publication, for all its modesty, is an artefact of the greatest cultural significance, a time capsule travelling in both directions.' (Luke Allan) 'Reliquae is the genuine article, a colloquium for folklore and folkways, where the regional is inseparable from the international, where philology gives rise to poetry, and something magical happens on the printed page.' (Henry Wessells) 'It guides the imagination toward what Domenico Comparetti, a nineteenth-century folklorist and Homeric scholar, suspected to be the root of all poetry, magic song.' (Peter O'Leary) 'Work that sings uniquely startling and surprising songs. It is by far the most innovative and ground-breaking work relating to any aspect of literary exploration and publication that I have come across in the last decade.' (Alyson Hallett) Author InformationAutumn Richardson is a Canadian poet and publisher. Her work grants quiet attention to the natural world, filtered through a prism of ecology, botanical medicine, mythology and esoteric philosophy. Contemplating landscapes as diverse as the vast northern boreal forests of Canada, the otherworldly karstic plateaus of western Ireland, the arid mountainous regions of Spain, and the ecologically devastated uplands of northern England, she lifts the occult or unseen to the reader's attention. In 2009 she co-founded Corbel Stone Press - one of the UK's foremost small presses dedicated to writing about landscape and nature - with her husband, the UK artist Richard Skelton. Her poetry and translations have appeared in numerous literary journals, pamphlets, anthologies and exhibitions in Canada, the UK, and internationally. Richard Skelton is an artist, musician and writer from Lancashire in northern England. His work is informed by landscape, evolving from sustained immersion in specific environments and deep, wide-ranging research incorporating toponymy and language, ecology and geology, folklore and myth. Between 2005 and 2011, he ran his own acclaimed Sustain-Release Private Press, publishing music under such names as A Broken Consort, Clouwbeck and Heidika. He currently runs Corbel Stone Press with his wife, the Canadian poet, Autumn Richardson. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
