Such a poignant and important article by @patrickbarkham.bsky.social on Lyme disease. Please do read and share...

Photo from last night of me reading from GREYHOUND at the @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social launch. The photo was taken by the artist Robin Hunt. We met online via our photographs during Covid as we were both photographing our domestic spaces. It was really special to meet him last night.

It was a special broadcast 2nd January 2007.

There definitely was a one off special!

The Forest That Followed the Lake: Julian Hoffman's path to Prespa's shores Walking offered what conversation could not yet provide: a way in, a way to begin to belong.

I'm deeply grateful to @wordscaper.bsky.social for this thoughtful piece about my work, walking, climate change and the lessons of a receding lake @walklistencreate.org

Balkan bounty: the little-known corner of Greece now ripe for walkers and nature tourism Mountains, butterflies, bears and pelicans are among the natural wonders in the stunning Prespa lakes region, which straddles three countries

I wrote about the Prespa lakes region in northern Greece for @theguardian.com today. At the crossroads of three countries and my home for the past quarter of a century, it's a place that continues to surprise me with its wild beauty and rich human cultures.

How One Animal Divided Europe A new book explores what the wolf’s return to the continent means for people who have never known its presence.

I reviewed @adamweymouth.bsky.social's new book, Lone Wolf, for @theatlantic.com. Adam "carefully picks at the Gordian knot linking wolves and rural communities, teases out nuances, and tells a complex story of a world in transition." This gift link should work: www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv...

Despair is a Luxury, but Hope is a Discipline: A Conversation with Robert Macfarlane - The Rumpus Despair is a luxury, but hope is a discipline.

"One of the aspects of craft that most preoccupies me is rhythm and sound pattern in prose. There’s a tendency to forget that prose, especially non-fiction prose, might sing, or keep time, or embed echoes and rhymes within itself."

I have just finished Lifelines and am completely blown away. There is so much to admire, think through and meditate on. It has been a good companion for the last week. Thank you and here is one reader contemplating a “possibility regained”. Wishing you lots of success and a deserved wide readership

Nailed it!

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale.

Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Beautiful and just perfect!

Is this river alive? Robert Macfarlane on the lives, deaths and rights of our rivers As pollution levels hit record highs and fresh water becomes ‘the new oil’, is it time to radically reimagine our relationship to the natural world?

What follows if we imagine rivers as having lives, deaths––& even rights?
I wrote this essay about water & hope; imagining rivers “otherwise”; nature’s rights; grammars of animacy; & how our fate flows with that of rivers—& always has.
It’s from Is A River Alive?

Hilarious and so true!

Tomorrow’s World really did not prepare me for how massively shit living in the future is

An absolute treat to read/ listen to this morning. Thank you. It makes you realise what is really important and lasting.

Paul Lisicky on Joni Mitchell, Anti-Memoirs, and How Songwriting Influences His Nonfiction What a life-giving joy is a new book from Paul Lisicky! People say that flippantly all the time but in this case it’s really true: life-giving because Lisicky’s work is an aliveness factory, pumpin…

@emmaceisenberg.bsky.social talks to @paullisicky.bsky.social about Joni Mitchell and the relationship between songwriting and nonfiction.

"Few films have depicted the devastating effects of politics on individuals in such an intimate, visceral or timely way, arriving at a moment when the rise of authoritarianism has become a global concern."

Can’t quite believe I’ve just interviewed Sarah Waters. She was so brilliant. One of those career pinch me moments. Thanks @womensprize.bsky.social for trusting me to do it!
