Such Fragile Futures - An Artist and a Poet Reflect in a Garden of poems in Shaetlan & English by Christine De Luca with art by Brigid Collins.

With delicacy and tender attention, artist Brigid Collins and poet Christine De Luca respond to the garden, looking deeply into how it feeds a vital and growing sensitivity towards our fragile futures. This book records Christine's collaboration with the artist Brigid Collins, based on her year as Artist in Residence in Dr Neil's Garden in Duddingston, Edinburgh.


...if we allow ourselves we can slip into slow time and experience the world from a different perspective. This is what the artist, Brigid Collins, and the poet, Christine De Luca set out to do in their year of wonder and exploration. The results can now be shared in this beautiful book. Their work transports us to a different mode of being through which we can feel part of something much bigger than ourselves. Sue Stuart-Smith, author of The Well Gardened Mind
