Landscape Translations

Canadian sketch after Lachlan MacKinnon

Deep as forever
Great river of stars
Above cabin in the woods

Inspired by MacKinnon's opening to "A Suffolk Sketchbook" in Small Hours

Deep as forever
the great field of stars
over the cottage garden.

This all started as a thinking through of how close to (and how far from) a compressed haiku do the lines of MacKinnon resemble. And from there we thought about forms of transplantation.

And so for day 1133
