Our first poetry excerpt from BIOPHILIA. ‘Annotations on Microbes’ from Jayant Kashap

We adored his perspective on our theme and felt it was the perfect tone to begin our life-rooted symphony

You can read the whole poem here www.wingedmoon.com/biophilia

Love to hear your response

Sharing my poem 'Bøyabreen' from this beautifully put-together anthology, out this week with Scarlet Tiger Press. And @marcellenewbold.bsky.social 's, cos I love it ❤️

And if anyone wants to fund me on a return research trip to Norway to coo over more mountains, that would be super! 🏔️🏞️
