Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and
time For Linda Cracknell, exposure to wind, rock, mist, and salt
water is integral to her writing process. She follows Susan
Sontag’s advice to “Love words, agonise over sentences, and pay
attention to the world,” observing and writing her landscapes
from the particulars of each moment. In this varied essay
collection, Linda backpacks on a small island that is connected to
the mainland only at low tide. In winter snow, she hikes the wooded
hillside close to her home, a place she is intimately familiar with
in all seasons. And she retraces over three days the steps of a
trek made by her parents seven decades earlier. She explores her
inspirations, in nature and from other artists and their work, and
she offers thoughtful writing prompts. Reading this
collection will take you to new places, open your eyes to the
world, and suggest ways to take note and make notes as you go—to
inspire your own attentive looking, journaling, and writing
practice.
