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! 🏔️🏞️

we’d love to read your vivid weird devastating nature writing, we will water it kindly

The Winged Moon Literary Magazine SUBS OPEN @thewingedmoon.bsky.social · Jun 26

here at the moons wings we are surprised that we have received very few works writing on the climate emergency or experimental nature writing in our submissions and we’d love that, daring and weird poetry and essays that alter our perspectives. We close on 2 July!!

at the winged moon, BIOPHILIA is more than our current theme. it is the central question burning at the heart of us. how can we see our way through the ecological crisis if we can’t see a newway to relate to nature? we would love to read your work that moves us & thrills us with language
