This beautiful publication – the results of my collaboration with the SWLA – is now available from the SWLA’s website. It contains art by Europe’s best wildlife artists in celebration of the Wadden Sea, it’s wildlife, landscapes, and people
I’m thrilled and honoured to have been chosen to be writer-in-residence to a wonderful project to celebrate the landscapes, wildlife, and culture of the Danish Wadden Sea. In collaboration with the SWLA, the Vadehavet National Park, and UNESCO I’ll be joining two residences in October and May. We are hoping to produce a book in late 2020.
I’ve been working with the good people of Incredible Oceans curating the words and music for their electrifying and immersive Ocean Dome. Appearing at music festivals and events, check out their website and feeds to find out if the dome will be making an appearance near you.
Our podcast has been launched. We’re available on iTunes, through Podbean and at beneaththestream.com
My companero Ian Rowlands (speaker, guide, festival organiser, writer, thinker, eminence grise) and I are soon to launch a monthly podcast entitled Beneath the Stream: the human experience in the non-human world. More details to follow including first few episodes and its own website. We’ll be available through all the normal outlets.
Overdue news: I was invited to speak at a wonderfully eclectic event at the Said Business School in Oxford in early July where I presented on predators and the human imagination. It was an engaged and stimulating audience who took the post-talk discussion in all sorts of challenging directions. Looking forward to next year.
I was guest speaker at Aardvark books in July for their Mortimer Food Festival. Great people. Great food and a fantastic bookshop if ever you’re passing through Brampton Bryan.
It was my pleasure recently to chair some talks at the Wealden Literary Festival, a new celebration of writing and nature which promises to be an exciting annual fixture. I chaired talks with Dan Richards, Will Atkins and Adam Thorpe. More images of the day to follow. http://www.wealdenliteraryfestival.co.uk/
Those of you that support the Society of Wildlife Artists will be able to see my review of their 2014 Natural Eye exhibition at The Mall Galleries in their in-house magazine Natural Notebook. Other talks are coming up which I’ll post on the Twitter feed and the homepage will hold the most recent words about Shadows in the Hay.
