O Fountain Mouth: Purify Us, We Beseech Thee - Meinrad Craighead

O Fountain Mouth: Purify Us, We Beseech Thee - Meinrad Craighead

Meinrad Craighead and the Animal Face of God

September 25, 2017

 

An essay on the American painter, writer and sometime Benedictine nun Meinrad Craighead, recently published online by Climate Cultures. This is based on a paper that I gave at the 2016 Art.Earth creative summit in Dartington, Landscape, Language and the Sublime. I'm currently working on a series of poems around Craighead's life and work, that runs as a parallel thread to this ongoing rumination.

Welcome

This page holds occasional essays, poems and talks whose most consistent theme is the pursuit of ecological recovery - a phrase coined by GreenSpirit founder Albert LaChance for the turning around in the heart that ecological crisis asks of us.
