Gerry Loose (1948-2024) was a poet, horticulturist, land-artist and anti-war activist. A "slow-moving nomad", he lived in England, Ireland, Spain, Morocco, and most recently in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. His work draws on the unbuilt world, the human and the non-human as well as geopolitics. His poems are as likely to be found inscribed on stone in botanic gardens, hospitals, schools and other public places as in his many books. His selected poems, Printed on Water (2007) and two later books, that person himself (2009) and An Oakwoods Almanac (2015) are also published by Shearsman.
