“We were soon far out on the water beneath the bluest of skies. As we sailed away we talked about the sea. I said it was hard to worry about something that looked so perfect, when we could not see below the surface or see the damage we had done. Anna looked at me and was solemn. Nothing was quite the same as it was in the old days, she said. The giant seabird colonies to the north were one by one falling silent, as the birds failed to breed. But, she said quietly, we must not give up.” James Rebanks, The Place of Tides (2025)

“So to talk about trees is to talk about our attachment to them. Our longing for them to be okay. To talk about trees then is also to talk about each other, the ways we are attached to what is living and how much we want it to go on doing just that for as long as possible. It is never only trees, but what binds us together, the trees, the roots, the eternal part of us that is both the seed and the tree.” Ada Limón, Shelter: A Love Letter to Trees (2022)

“I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes — everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!” Audre Lorde, A Burst of Light (1988)

Ph. Alan Cumming “I wore this suit to the Met gala centuries ago in protest at being told to shut up and keep out of politics during the Iraq war, but I think today its message is even more prescient and vital. The quote is by the great Audre Lord and the suit was designed by Stephen Cirona.“
