7: Legion’s I.R. Harris

From I.R. Harris; I consider Ireland to be my second home. I received my MA in Peace, Conflict and Sustainable Development from the University of Limerick and find myself constantly drawing upon those experiences abroad throughout my writing process. My love for the outdoors and for travel has inspired my particular interest in the study of Ecology, the preservation of indigenous culture, human rights, and the dissemination of all knowledge through various creative processes. I try to encourage everyone to write, as writing just as painting or sculpting, photography–all forms of art, can serve as a catharsis, a vessel in which we are forced to reflect on our positioning within the world and within ourselves. As writing can be a release for the soul, reading too, can serve as an emancipator. Diversity in books, such as diversity in life! Happy reading and writing to you all.
