“they’ve only just arrived
an arrow-true, close-flocked, ocean-crossing skein”
Kathleen Jamie (2014)

It was winter, near freezing, I'd walked through a forest of firs when I saw issue out of the waterfall a solitary bird. It lit on a damp rock, and, as water swept stupidly on, wrung from its own throat supple, undammable song. It isn't mine to give. I can't coax this bird to my hand that knows the depth of the river yet sings of it on land.

A calendar page with the event date and a photo of a cloudy sky reflecting back on calm water, all set against a dark teal background. The North Sea Poets logo is in the bottom right corner.

Last chance to get a ticket for tonight's Speaking To, Speaking As with @kathleenjamie.bsky.social!

We'll explore recent eco-poetry, and ask how poets can pay radical attention to non-humans – or even speak on their behalf.
