Do you have this book? Have you read it. Well, I do, and I have, and I look forward to reading it again. (Need to find my copies of Riley’s other books.)
In sleep, in dream song,
the daylight ghosts are laid
and trouble us no more.
In silence nightlong
a life’s debts are paid
at the open door.

"Eely is a symphony in four movements. This book-length poem by Steve Ely explores themes of fenland, power, conflict and biodiversity, and the lifecycle, ecology, epic migration, conservation status and enigma of the European eel."

Do we ever learn to live with less? The literal work

'A walk is an act of displacement. A walk is an act of attention. Are either of these things true? Wrong question. Can they both be true at the same time? Wrong question.'

I do miss working at a bigger office where it was possible to print my zine for eighteen months on an industrial printer without anyone noticing 🖨️🖨️🖨️
people claim WFH is bad for the economy but at least at home i’m only stealing company time instead of company time and massive amounts of company stationary

Whoopers cruise the Dutch Barn’s shadow, pen and cob,
a litter of half-grown cygnets, upending in the algal soup,
plucking out pondweed, diving beetles, the monstrous
Palaeozoic nymphs of Anax imperator.

Earlier this year, we published 'To the End of the Land', a text & audio collaboration between Martin Heslop & Helen Tookey, grounded in the landscapes of Nova Scotia. Apt for winter reading (and listening).

Big broodfish winter at sea: enter the river
each spring to seek their redds—Gironde, Garonne,
Dordogne. Everything’s against them: bycatch,
gravel works, Golfech’s hydroelectric plant
and pressurised water-cooled reactors.

Sky darkens bright with ancient light from uncountable
pinprick galaxies, where ‘Oumuamua is lost in space,
swept blind in the Big Bang’s current. A little eel
slips off, begins to make her way downstream.
