About Nature's Words
May Gaia,
our Great Mother,
speak through me...
may I be a channel,
a conduit for Nature's words!
Performing ecopoetry at Resurgence cross-party climate conference, London, Nov' 07
I've created this website both as a showcase for my ecopoetry/environmental writing and artwork, and as an evolving home for it – I'll endeavour to keep updating these pages on a regular basis. Visitors will find samples of my poetry and prose, images of the natural world that I've captured on my digital camera, details of my books, reviews, and some elucidation of my underlying philosophy.

A Manifesto
In this manifesto, I have attempted to define and explore the modern discomfort with engaged Art and to show how and why a growing number of artists, writers and poets, have taken it up and developed their own unique responses to the global environmental crisis we're currently facing as a species.
