I write a weekly Sunday editorial column, Confluences (formerly The Rhizome), on arts and environment for Where The Leaves Fall, a London-based magazine exploring humankind’s connection with nature. Some notable pieces:
On Art, Resistance, and COP28: Op-ed on the role of art and the cultural sector for environment, on the occasion of the Climate Heritage Networks’s proposed Joint Work Decision on Culture and Climate Action at COP28 UAE.
Remedios: Where new land might grow: Interview with curator Daniela Zyman about the complicated capacity of art to address/repair social and ecological issues, healing as a 'communal and coalition project,' and the role of the artist in the Anthropocene.
Seeking Reverence: When anxious about the state of the world, poetry can provide solace.
Reimagining What-If: Interview with Rob Hopkins, Founder of Transition Network.
Whale Whispering: Interview with musician Michaela Harrison about the power of sound as a healing tool and human relationships with the ocean and Earth.
A Storied Ground: Interview with photographer Jermaine Francis on the politics of the image and the connection between landscape and identity.
I write a Substack newsletter, Field Guide, on poetry through the lens of spiritual ecology. This is a column about ecopoetics; that is to say, this is a column about what it means to live on, in, and amongst Earth, and what that looks like on the page.
From 2020-2021, I wrote a cultural criticism newsletter, Cold Brew, now on hiatus. There, I wrote on topics such as: bland branding / Work-ism and the definition of ‘craft’ / Nomadland / the South African documentary cinema scene / contemporary poetry / ‘Generation Easyjet’ / the USAmerican political consciousness / Sally Rooney / strangers in airports / my feelings.
