we’d love to read your vivid weird devastating nature writing, we will water it kindly
here at the moons wings we are surprised that we have received very few works writing on the climate emergency or experimental nature writing in our submissions and we’d love that, daring and weird poetry and essays that alter our perspectives. We close on 2 July!!
what makes us a part of nature and not apart? we are opening our gates for nature writing that includes the human.
we’d love to receive your daring and surprising nature writing and the readers are excited about how you might fit into a landscape how your life and edges blur with feeling. Open until July 2 wingedmoon.com/submit
This week, Martin Kennedy Yates @martinkennedyyates.bsky.social shares his creative process, his journey as a poet and a few of his evocative poems and upcoming projects over on our substack.
we are waiting for your bold nature writing that stitches the human back into its fabric
at the winged moon, BIOPHILIA is more than our current theme. it is the central question burning at the heart of us. how can we see our way through the ecological crisis if we can’t see a newway to relate to nature? we would love to read your work that moves us & thrills us with language
