Julian Hoffman

It was my great pleasure - and yes, very much looking forward to the next time our paths cross!

Wonderful to finally meet up with Julian Hoffman @julianhoffman.bsky.social at the Kendal Mountain Festival yesterday where he was interviewed by local author Kate Rawles, and gave an inspiring talk about his latest book ‘Lifelines’. Thanks Julian.

Thank you SO much, Ron! It was such a pleasure to finally meet you and Joyce and I'm absolutely delighted you enjoyed the event. And thrilled you brought all my books with you to be signed, my friend!

That's so kind of you to say - thank you!

Thank you so much, Ziya - I do hope you enjoy it. And yes, absolutely thrilled with Lear's Dalmatian pelican in a brilliant design by the artist Nicole Caputo!

Lifelines by Julian Hoffman

Thank you, @julianhoffman.bsky.social! Your new book just arrived and I’m so looking forward to reading it!! Also, love the iconic pelican on the cover. 🫶🏽

Extraordinary discovery in a cave on the river system that's the focus of my next book: the largest spider web ever recorded, home to two different spider species and 110,000 individuals.

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer.

The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯

How embarrassing for the UK.

Thank you ever so much, dear John - deeply appreciated. Your name came up several times while I was in Athens last week, and I'm very happy to say that I'll see you soon as I've just booked tickets to hear you and Sofka in conversation!

Thank you so much - deeply appreciated!

You're very welcome!

And with the Edward Lear pelican connecting us both yet again!!

Ah, thank you ever so much, Alberthe - so pleased you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! It was such a joy to explore these topics as they moved and shifted to other, equally connected issues. And I love Alexis's writing too!

This is wonderful - a conversation between two of my favourite writers on one of the most important topics (or confluence of topics) for all of us right now.

How marvellous! Huge congratulations, Anna - I'm so thrilled for you!

Heart’s Home A conversation about borders, belonging, and keeping the Kushners out

“Place fascinates me, and it always has. Why do some places resonate with us in often inexplicably profound ways while others don’t?”

Julian Hoffman and Alexis Marie Adams talk about Hoffman’s latest book, ‘Lifelines,’ the magic of place, grief, hope, conservation and more.

Deeply grateful to @orionmagazine.bsky.social for giving @alexismarieadams.bsky.social and myself the opportunity to have a conversation about borders, belonging, writing, rivers, grief and resistance, as well as our shared love for the more-than-human world.

I am the first Indigenous journalist to exclusively interview António Guterres. How many others will listen? A young journalist reflects on the UN leader’s responses, and hopes his messages – about human violence and an increasingly hostile planet – resonated before Cop30

"As an Indigenous man, I know very well the pain of the forest, because its body is an extension of ours. When I speak of the body of the forest...it is everything."

Powerful and important piece by Wajã Xipai on rivers, forests and interviewing António Guterres.

Thanks ever so much for listening and for these kind words - so pleased you enjoyed it!

Wonderful to be back in Athens and see you very soon! So looking forward to our event!
