"Four thoughtful and thought-provoking stories in conversation across languages and cultures - how exciting, and necessary! This marvellous anthology, full of grace and wit, shows how writers and whole literatures thrive when in contact with other voices."

What is carried from the past into the present? And how can poetry address the complexity—the accumulated guilt and glory—of the past?

ICYMI! A few photographs from our ghost stories event! Our co-director Will Buckingham co-ran this event in Tainan with writer Naomi Sím at the beautiful 南渡策室x無有為獨立書店.

This cosy group told ghost stories in Taiwanese/Tâi-gí. And there were even flickering lights as writers shared their writing...👻

This is a lovely, generous-spirited, article by 羅強哥 about our @windandbones.com philosophy salon in Taiwan (Mandarin, but you can run it through a translation tool).

並非一場嚴肅難解的論辯，而更像是一次在樹蔭下的輕鬆對談
Not a serious, hard-to-understand debate, but more a relaxed conversation in the shade of a tree.

在跨國對話中，哲學走回自我本真

'Unexpectedly, this salon, hosted by Professor Bai Zhongxiu/Dr Will Buckingham (a British speaker with a PhD in philosophy and a Master's in anthropology), bringing together friends from Taiwan and other countries, was less a solemn debate and more a relaxed conversation under the shade of a tree.'

Garry MacKenzie’s poem-essay flows implacably forward... in its relentless movement, it sweeps along in its path the sedimented layers of history and literature—stories, texts, and fragments that bear witness to the ecological and human histories of Scotland.
