Using objective details of our natural world as a lens through which we can understand our subjective world. And vice versa.
From the poet: Here is a good starting place. Anthropomorphism might be just another form of zoomorphism. We are animals, after all.
United States
Looking beyond carbon reductionism to see Earth's climate in all its living complexity.
From the author: This post is not only about a one-of-a-kind scientist who is no longer with us, but a full introduction to the living climate and why we've heard so little about it.
United States
A celebration of more-than-human life and invitation to remember that we too are creatures.
Author’s note: This essay tells symbiotic stories and considers relationships involved in the pleasure we often feel when we encounter the fragrance of damp soil in spring.
United States
Immersive perspectives on the fine art of a joyful existence.
From the author: Start here. How we relate to our world is expressed in our traditions, those we celebrate and those we no longer notice.
United States
On being exactly Here, where the rhythm of the pileated woodpecker stitches home the frayed edges of the soul.
From the poet: This roadside experience had so much of touch and texture, and also reached deeply into shadowy places in the spirit — I couldn't not seek words to reflect it.
France
Working through our entangled lives with the rest of the natural world through poetry.
From the writer: Here’s a good place to start.
Ireland
An animist archaeologist and artist writing from an ecocentric and decolonial perspective.
From the artist: This essay is an animist's intimate exploration of recognising and reclaiming our place in the natural world; as its subtitle says, it's been written in praise of the spirit of moss, trees, wind and rain.
Canada
Supporting healing through connection with nature.
From the author: After years spent working in forests and gardens, it was my son's forest school that slowed me down and started my practice of nature journaling and writing nature-inspired poetry.
