" This year poets Sue Butler, Mandy Haggith, Jena Atkin and Gerry Loose have taken up poetry residences at the four gardens of the RBGE as well as at Cove Park. Walking with Poets provides a chance for these poets to immerse themselves in the magnificent environments and share their awareness, their practice, and their vision of nature with communities around Scotland and the world. The residencies will take place throughout the year and there will be a special closing event held at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on St Andrew's Day 2013. Each of the poets will be blogging about their residency at: walkingwithpoets.wordpress.org ."
