Strange Places is about words and the places they take us. About poetry. The places it comes from and the power it has to create and re-invent us. About metaphor, and images, and thought expressed. It is about bringing poetry and philosophy back together. Also inevitably about the institutions that hold worlds and words prisoners, and with them our imagination. Or as most amazingly the case can be sometimes release them into the human imagination.

The words “strange places” came up in a conversation with friends, and all of a sudden I knew that was the name of the blog that I have been contemplating. Strange? That is part of the mystery. Words take us to strange places in which we discover the strange places we are. Where we become more familiar with ourselves, get to know each other better, on a journey that gathers its own weight, discovery and surprise. Ultimately, I hope, a place that is not so strange, after all.
