The publication across 260 pages includes a foreword by Prof. Joe Smith of the Royal Geographical Society, an introduction by award-winning writer and poet Nancy Campbell and essays by Isabela Galvao, Melanie Vandenbrouk, and Piero Tomassoni with text extracts from a series of artist’s book collaborations with writers including Dr Shaun Cole, John O’Connell, Emma M. Hill and Dr Michael Petry.
