Writing Landscape
By (author) Linda Cracknell
Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and time.
Linda Cracknell is a writer of place and nature who believes in being alert, observing, and writing from the particulars of each experience. Engaging bodily with her writing, she is someone for whom getting mud on her boots, sleeping high up in the hills, or being slapped by salt water can all be part of her process. She follows Susan Sontag’s advice to “Love words, agonize over sentences and pay attention to the world.”
Reviews of Writing Landscape
‘An object lesson in attentive looking … wonderfully intense … a small book, but a mighty one.’ Scotsman
‘A really inspirational read … a book that takes you by the hand and puts your fingers in the sand and soil … a call to meditation.’ –Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae
