it’s a second year English Lit core module called Writing Environments

as fate would have it, I was in the beautiful Brotherton Library today at @leedsunilibraries.bsky.social looking at ships logs and weather lore. old habits die hard.

my contribution is called Library of Wind, after Nancy Campbell’s wonderful Library of Ice (with permission). it’s a sort of reading log of the interior weather of the many libraries I’ve researched wind in.

The Poetry’s Environments conference aims to consider poetry that addresses the natural environment and the environments in which poetry is written, experienced, performed, preserved, and studied. We are especially interested in proposals that consider these two contexts together.

likewise! I’ve missed seeing you around
