Abstract:

My poem, 'Whoopers in April', published in poetry anthology, Summer Anywhere. This was a commission, whereby the publisher approached me directly. The poem is inspired by the sight of a dead whooper swan, seen in a field on the island of Sanday in Orkney; a contemplation of nature, death, transience and the transformative potential of poetry. It considers potential interactions between the dead and the living, as 'swans ghost the landscape'; infusing an interaction with 'natural' landscapes with Derrida's notion of hauntology.
