Poetry begins, unsurprisingly, with rich red dirt pushing at the skin under your fingernails. 

What happens when you create a time and space for young creatives to come together to work on climate and nature? You create a greener dream.

On a circle of hay bales in the heart of Knepp Wildland, I watch young ecologists find their poetic voice.

If my career as a facilitator has taught me anything, it’s to make a plan, then leave it at the door on the way in.

Into the woods with Wild Thing Poetry for a solstice eco-poetry workshop

A Tuesday evening, an independent bookshop, and a room full of poets and friends. We were so lucky to host a collection of wonderfully talented performers, with open micers alongside headline performers from your very own Wild Thing Poetry collective. 

Approaching our first ever eco poetry event to celebrate the Spring Equinox, I have been looking back over the last year of Wild Thing Poetry. What a year it’s been: one of wildness, community, and creativity, which are, incidentally, the priorities of Wild Thing Poetry.
