Check out a review of Roselle Angwin's A Spell in the Forest by new staff writer Sarah Bitter at modronmagazine.com

The book's blurb: "A Spell in the Forest - Tongues in Trees is part love-song, part poetic guidebook, and part exploration of thirteen native sacred British tree species."

At Modron we are glad to be part of the #SaveWelshMagazines campaign urging Creative Wales to increase funding for magazines in Wales. The situation at the moment is unsustainable, and the mags are vital to a healthy cultural life.
"Successively worsening grant levels and often more stringent funding conditions have become normalised, creating a precedent which has led to a race to the bottom in working conditions."

When we first respond to Nature's invitation to be understood, we feel we must impose our will upon the things we study. But soon, they turn on us and close in on us with such force that we must acknowledge and respect their strange authority over us. (After #Goethe)
