British Mountaineers

Faye Latham's collection, British Mountaineers, is a series of poetic erasures. Written in 1942, F. S. Smythe's biographical text of the same title forms the original canvas where words are picked, painted and stitched together to create a new, dream-like narrative.

Castle of Imagination

First published in 1930, F. S. Smythe's book, A Kangchenjunga Adventure, becomes the canvas for this series of erasure and collage poems. This series explores both real and imagined landscapes, taking the reader on a journey into the text through visual and lexical portals, black holes and dreams.
