Sinking and singing its song into the marrow of our Biophilia issue.

Our next human/nature/memory blurring excerpt from BIOPHILIA is from Sarah Magaharan with ‘I asked the laurel tree and the laurel tree replied’

If you feel so inclined to read the rest, it's so worth it to climb up the branches of our website and read wingedmoon.com/biophilia

Today’s sharing from BIOPHILIA is the poetry of Catherine Graham. She has perfectly languaged the theme, blurring the lines between human and landscape. We enjoyed her piece incredibly, and if you like the excerpt, do come along and have a read on our website, wingedmoon.com/biophilia

oh go on we’d love to read your weird poems about life nature and yourself in one big messy compost heap
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!!
