Foreword to Triptych
TRIPTYCH
May 2025
Dr Diana Warner
The Crown Court and injunction processes associated with Insulate Britain strip us of our human rights and our humanity. The experience is of being held naked and immobile under a spotlight for examination.
Triptych is a deeply personal work Diana created as an antidote over the course of a writing retreat. The first piece is a description of my son Sam; the central piece is a short narrative poem which investigates the nature of activism and courage. The third piece was written in an attempt to capture the feeling of an early morning meditation; and a quotation which inspired the haiku, wondering on the nature of love and death.
