Why are islands so compelling, these small lands, half actual worlds, half ghostly, half part of our life, half from another realm? John Keats wrote of Ailsa Craig, “Hearken, thou craggy ocean pyramid! Give answer from thy voice – the sea – fowl’s screams”
From icy, tropical, desert, flat, high and volcanic we are talking about islands tonight.
Bring some stories of your own. I hope you’ll join me, see you there. John Beatty
