A series of lectures and an exhibition, White World , held in Edinburgh at the end of last year, contributed to the recent new growth of his reputation in his native Scotland. Elements of that exhibition will be shown in the Ferry Terminal in Stromness for the duration of the Festival. Kenneth White has kindly contributed four items to this issue, three poems on islands around the world, and a prose piece on Ushant. Terry Delaney's essay on the Situationists forms the other half of this OAR . Given that Kenneth White has lived in France for the last thirty years, the essay makes a nice companion piece on that basis, as well as reminding us that conformity and non-conformity added together can mean only one thing.
Someone's out there having a good time.
