Last Thursday I attended the launch soiree for "City Creatures: Animal Encounters in the Chicago Wilderness."<br />See: http://www.amazon.com/City-Creatures-Encounters-Chicago-Wilderness/dp/022619289X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1444118457&sr=1-1.<br /><br />This is a beautiful volume of literary essays, poems and fine art, edited by Gavin Van Horn, the passionate, environmentalist director of conservation at the Center for Humans and Nature. My partner, imagist painter Eleanor Spiess-Ferris, is one of its contributors.<br /><br />Gavin edits an eco-blog about co-evolution and multi-spieces co-habitation to which he invites guest bloggers, if anyone here wishes to take a look and submit something. It's by no means limited to Chicago. The scope is worldwide. I'm proud to number myself among its contributing bloggers.

Exactly!<br />And there are quite a few poetry prizes for eco-poetry now. Resurgence coming up?

'Nature writing/poetry' seems to have been going through something of a renaissance lately (though always popular as a subject). Travel writing must include quite a lot of this, not only nature but how a culture responds to and lives with it.Lydia Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328239009863878547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-1761224940497207332015-10-05T09:44:53.949+01:002015-10-05T09:44:53.949+01:00Happy to pass on useful info!
