Guess who has two thumbs and is speaking at (and attending) their first conference. 👍 This guy 👍! If you’re at all interested in ghost stories, coastal erosion, lichen, tombstones etc etc then come along to the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment conference in Galway this August!
