Kenneth White 'The Geopoetics Project'

At the end of October 2005, poet, academic and writer, Kenneth White, delivered a unique series of three lectures in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The series came initially as the proposed culmination of a Fellowship designed by the region's arts development agency, HI~Arts.

The Embedded Poets Project

The Embedded Poets Project is a truly unique and innovative poetry project aimed at reuniting communities with poetry through the production of new commissioned work along with programmes of workshops and performances on key social and cultural issues affecting the region.

The first issue to be addressed was that of suicide by young men in the Highlands and Islands, and in 2006 HI~Arts appointed the poet Stephen Watts as its first Embedded Poet to work on the project.
