Dear Action Members,

We are excited to announce that the launch of our PoTaRCh poetry anthology

From the Woods

a collection of short poems

inspired by woodlands and their

PoTaRCh products – potash, tar,

resin and charcoal

will take place during the upcoming Annual Meeting of COST Action 22155, in Brașov, Romania, from 16^th–19^th February 2026, hosted by Transylvania University of Brașov.

The publication is a compilation of short poems written by Action members, inspired by woodlands and their PoTaRCh products.

At the launch we will share the publication, printed and digital, accompanied by selected readings by some of the authors. We will also premier the accompanying video animation illustrating key elements of PoTaRCh.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This work has been supported by the COST Association, COST Action 22155, and Historic England.
