Joyed to see 🧡Baby Schema🧡 in The Times this week and alongside such great titles. Thanks to Graeme Richardson.

Fantastic to see that Isabel Galleymore's #BabySchema is one of The Times and The Sunday Times Best Poetry Collections of 2024! 'a pin-sharp poetry of artificial things — teddy bears, sponges, dolls — that pricks any bubble of complacency or eco-smugness.' Carcanet Press thetimes.com/culture/books/…

Tonight - with CA Conrad, Holly Pester and me 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

In the latest Resurgence & Ecologist Magazine, I discuss the ways language shapes our relationships with surrounding landscapes and non-human kin. I consider Isabel Galleymore’s multispecies poetics in conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer’s incredible ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ 🌱
