Ecstatics: a language of birds

---

Laura Dever & Lesley Harrison

Book by Laura Drever & Lesley Harrison.

Lesley Harrison lived on the Orkney island of Eday for nearly two years and over time she developed an imaginary map of the island through watching the arrival, migration, wintering and regeneration of the island's bird population. The birds of the island inspired her to write the poems in this book.

Laura Drever is a also an avid bird watcher; in her illustrations, she responds to the lines and patterns of the birds' flight. The illustrations in this book capture the birds' sense of movement and presence in their natural surroundings.

Laura Drever studied at Edinburgh College of Art, returning to Orkney in 2003 to continue her work as a landscape painter. She exhibits regularly in Orkney. Lesley Harrison lives near Arbroath, her previous home was in Orkney.
