Poetry can cross boundaries of time, geographical distance, culture and history, and even question the perceived separation between the human and the more than human world. Here two poets from different parts of the world join together in a collaboration to offer the possibility that when we speak in a poetic way we can sometimes crack the categories, blur the boundaries of our ordinary thinking and find the place where we no longer know where skin ends and sky begins.
