It contains perceptive reflections on COP26 from Elizabeth Rimmer and Ullrich Kockel and many sparkling poems that relate to the climate and ecological crises and their effects. Philip Tonner’s scholarly essay provides a deep-going analysis of intellectual nomadism in the work of Kenneth White and Martin Heidegger. Mandy Haggith follows her previous insightful essays on Fire in issue 8.2 and Ice in issue 10 with one on Stone in this issue. A Sudden Strangeness by Susan Holliday is a thoughtful meditation on how our perception of the world affects our psyche and creativity. Dina Fachin has again graced our pages with some of her beautiful artwork. 

We are particularly grateful to Caroline Watson for her art, photographs of COP26 protests and for designing this issue of Stravaig. All in all, some excellent reading for the summer of 2022!
