Words to Light the Dark – hosted by Chantal Lyons

What can the planet’s past tell us about the future? How do we relate to nature when our bodies try to keep us from it? And how do you write about creatures that don’t wish to be found?  

Join Wainwright Prize-nominated authors Sophie YeoPolly Atkin, and Chantal Lyons – host of this Salon and walk · listen · create’s Writer-in-Residence – as they explore the act of writing wild and wild-ish places into being when doing so may not be as simple as setting out for a long walk. 

Yeo’s Nature’s Ghosts, Atkin’s Some of Us Just Fall and In the Company of Owls, and Lyons’ Groundbreakers each in their own ways seek to illuminate hidden realities. Each author has contended with challenges in writing about the natural world and our places in it, whether conjuring distant lands from afar amid a global pandemic, or weathering illness, or navigating stormy debates. Listen to them discuss their approaches, their tips (and, perhaps, their mistakes), their unexpected moments, and more.
