    With the piper’s drone
    with the coarse fabric of the land…

  2. “The richness of Donnchadh Bàn’s language becomes a metaphor for the richness of nature... The poem is a song & the music itself becomes a metaphor for the co-existence of different forms of life”

    —Meg Bateman introduces Ben Dorain: a conversation with a mountain, by Garry MacKenzie, (Irish Pages Press/Cló An Mhíl Bhuí, 2021)

  3. Lidl have just retarmacked my local stores car park. I decided to honour this, with a wink to Joni Mitchell and a nudge to Phillip Larkin. I wrote a poem for my son.
    'See the rain glisten and pool on mans petroleum product.
    It lies like a black flag to our progress stretched flat across the earth.
    See the remarked white line, disciplined and straight
    controling unruly nature'.

  4. Global Burns 2025: Burns & the Environment
    28 January, online – free

    Join Glasgow University’s Centre for Robert Burns Studies to explore Robert Burns’s engagement with the environment, as both writer & farmer. How did it influence his poetry? And how might we understand Burns in the context of contemporary environmental concerns?

  9. "The borders of the flame, in near fluorescence, as its lemon tips became

    A rimming wave that lulled then reached -- a painted impasto outline spun."

  11. Whispers freighted with odour swinging into the air,
    Russet needles as censers swing to an altar, where
    The angels’ songs are less divine
    Than duo sung twixt breeze and pine.
    - From “The Happy Hunting Grounds” by Six Nations Mohawk poet E. Pauline Johnson, early 20th century

    I have three recent #ecopoetry poems there. If there is a theme it is that we must open to the #healing powers of #Nature and understand our #Humanity in its context- which is all life on #planet-A #thereisnoplanetb t.co/jU947ItPdH

  14. Very happy to announce I have been accepted for wave 14 of iambapoet, part of a stellar cast #poetrybyme #poetry #ecopoetry
    The poems will be up from 14 June meanwhile spend some time browsing the site: lots of great work plus for each poem you can hear a recoding of the poet reading their poems. A unique journal.
