Gerry Loose (1948-2024) was a well respected poet with long connections to both Lapidus Scotland and Glasgow Botanic Gardens. As Poet-in-Residence at the Gardens, Gerry organised events and created poems for slates and stones.
Renga is a communal form of writing practiced by Gerry, with roots in Japan. We plan to mark the four seasons with a renga at the Gardens, with the first event taking place at the end of May. During this second event we'll visit those poems of Gerry's that remain in the Gardens, and use them and their settings as prompts for writing.
Facilitated by Mandy Haggith and hosted by Sukhema Butler.
