Still reflecting on what I heard yesterday @favlit.org when @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social talked about his book #IsARiverAlive
www.favershamliteraryfestival.org/2026/events/...
Enjoyed & learned a lot listening to #RobertMacfarlane @favlit.org this afternoon. Thoughtfulness, scientific endeavour & compassion shone through the interview. I think there is hope for rivers & the world.
#IsARiverAlive
Something to celebrate as the NY approaches! This development reminds me of the #RightsOfNature movement Robert MacFarlane chronicles in #IsARiverAlive? Amazing how when we start w/thoughts of the possible, possibility pursues us like a long lost friend.

🎶 Robert Macfarlane (@robgmacfarlane.bsky.social), Cambridge professor and writer, reflects on how writing for music shaped his craft. Music taught him about rhythm, tempo, rhyme, and the power of letting meaning be elliptical rather than over-explained.
#PLPEXPeditions; @cam.ac.uk #IsARiverAlive
Two very different books: one fiction, one non-fiction; one firmly rooted in a single, closely defined location, the other celebrating different cultures across the globe.
And yet the common themes and shared passions are striking. I can’t recommend them highly enough. 📚

As a Liz Hyder fan, these words about #THIRST bring me big joy. 🤓 (And as uncanny as it is, I swear the #IsARiverAlive malarkey is purely coincidental. 😂) #THIRST is now available for early reads at www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...

I would like to compare Robert Macfarlane's prose to a Magic Carpet that carries you along the big rivers, revealing the wonders and the sorrows of these beings that ultimately touch us all. 💚💙💚

Excited for this #IsARiverAlive #ManchesterLiteratureFestival @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social
It’s going to take a while for the scope of this book to percolate. The language is rich, boundary breaking. Its ideas plunge us into necessarily fantastic possibilities; we must be brave & creative in our thinking. I am grateful. Magnificent @RobGMacfarlane #isariveralive
