John Lincoln is an artist living in the East Midlands of England on the edge of the Fens. Giles Watson lived for eighteen years in a variety of English landscapes, including County Durham, Burnham Beeches, and the chalk downs of southern Oxfordshire. Artist and poet share a passion for natural history, and an interest in the ways in which trees in the landscape come to affect and reflect human emotions. Both are also enthusiasts for the work of John Clare, whose writing is steeped in the atmospheres of Fenland, and the paintings and poems in this little volume are tributes to his legacy. In 'The Green Pulse', text and image enjoy a subtle interplay, documenting the emotional, aesthetic and sometimes synaesthetic experience of walking amongst trees.
