On the Atlantic Edge: A Geopoetics Project (Non-fiction)

KENNETH WHITE IS one of the most daring of Europe's writers, thinkers and teachers. Breaking out the bounds of a limiting culture he left Scotland for France with his wife, Marie-Claude, in 1967. There he held first the Chair of 20th Century Poetics at the Sorbonne, later founding the International Institute of Geopoetics which now has centers in various countries, including Scotland and England. This first book, On the Atlantic Edge, is the full text of his Highland lectures preceded by, in the way of introduction, his lecture to the Edinburgh International Book Festival in 2005.
