Our first poetry excerpt from BIOPHILIA. ‘Annotations on Microbes’ from Jayant Kashap
We adored his perspective on our theme and felt it was the perfect tone to begin our life-rooted symphony
You can read the whole poem here www.wingedmoon.com/biophilia

we’d love to read your vivid weird devastating nature writing, we will water it kindly
here at the moons wings we are surprised that we have received very few works writing on the climate emergency or experimental nature writing in our submissions and we’d love that, daring and weird poetry and essays that alter our perspectives. We close on 2 July!!

we are waiting for your bold nature writing that stitches the human back into its fabric
at the winged moon, BIOPHILIA is more than our current theme. it is the central question burning at the heart of us. how can we see our way through the ecological crisis if we can’t see a newway to relate to nature? we would love to read your work that moves us & thrills us with language
