Hello from Kirsty & Meaghan
It's been so lovely to hear from so many of you around the world following the launch of Wordpath Scotland last week!
Thank you for all your emails and messages - it's wonderful to be in touch with so many old and new friends...
It's been a richly creative journey so far and we’re now in a new phase with the launch of our website and courses, and looking into a whole new landscape... Bringing so many of you with us.
We’ll be posting regularly as a way of keeping you updated with reading, thinking and plans for our writing programme. Watch out for our wee welcome video soon!
Have a happy weekend
Kirsty & Meaghan
WHAT WE’VE BEEN READING:
The fabulous Argentinian writer Norah Lange - Notes from Childhood - first published in 1950 – now in English translation by And Other Stories. How exciting it is to come across prose that unsettles us as we read... That asks us to imagine and make connections...That doesn't do our thinking for us...
WHAT’S GOT US THINKING:
KATHERINE & VIRGINIA
There's been a lot of interest in the relationship between Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield - friends or rivals? It's important to regard these two prime agents of modernist prose as a powerful "society of two", as Woolf put it, and not be distracted by the kind of latent internalised misogyny that seeks to pitch women in competition with each other. As Mansfield wrote "We are after so very nearly, the same thing , Virginia..."
WHAT WE’VE BEEN WATCHING:
The new BBC six part series on the life and work of Ernest Hemingway. An introduction to the complexity of the man and his work. One of the great prose writers of the 20th century.
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO LATELY:
‘Dalloway Day’ Royal Society of Literature
