THE MORE-THAN-HUMAN BOOK CLUB
I’m one of the co-founders of The More-Than-Human Book Club with Lilly Edward. Lilly is a writer who specialises in nature and the environment. The book club is a drop-in group that meets monthly at The Barbican Library to talk about more-than-human experiences, wildness, and nature writing.
We’ve been meeting since November 2022 and recently partnered with RE/SISTERS exhibition at Barbican Centre, as part of their public programme. Each month we curate a book, film, artwork, poem, or essay as a starting prompt and encourage our own nature encounters, then meet and discuss. Intended as a place of warmth, exploration, and discovery, community and connections are forged.
Past sessions have considered: ‘Modern Nature’ by Derek Jarman; Creation myths from around the world; ‘Slime’ by Susanne Wedlich; ‘Black Nature: African American Nature poetry’ ed. by Camille Dungy; ‘Fire of love’ dir. by Sara Dosa; ‘The Second Body’ by Daisy Hildyard, Plants in Science-fiction.
