The collection includes alphabet, calendar, list and found poems, as well as a sequence conceived as a 'variable construction', with one of many possible versions presented here. Many of the poems were written as collaborations with visual artists, and have appeared in booklets and exhibitions, and as public art works. Some were written as commissions, from organisations including The National Trust for Scotland and The Wordsworth Trust, or for occasions such as UNESCO World Heritage Day.
Floating the Woods collects these poems at last into a single volume.
