about

George Herbert (1593 - 1633) was an English poet and priest associated with metaphysics. It has been noted that Herbert uses puns and wordplay to "convey the relationships between the world of daily reality and the world of transcendent reality that gives it meaning. The kind of word that functions on two or more planes is his device for making his poem an expression of that relationship." (Hodgkins 2010). One of his most famous poems, Love (III), embraces the “unworthy” soul with forgiveness. Starting with an invitation (from God?): “Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back. / Guilty of dust and sin”, the situation eventually resolves by accepting the invitation to join Love’s meal.

about

Maja S. K. Ratkje Svartskog, Norway

“Anyone who has seen or heard Ratkje perform live will know what a superb musician she is, and one who can genuinely be said to be extending the expressive range of the voice through technical and technological means. Her work is celebratory and inclusive, an energising rallying call to those who are curious enough to peek out from behind the curtain of mainstream mediocrity.”
