Moving Mountains is about noticing the small and the slow, living with unpredictability and instability. It is not about overcoming or conquering, but of living with and connecting.
Following the launch of the anthology Moving Mountains, this substack continues the themes, and plots developments of the book and its editor. This will primarily explore connections to nature, and of living with chronic illness/disability. I will share new writing, reflections, creative practice and process, and events related to the anthology and my ongoing research in developing themes of the natural world and the (sick/disabled) body.
I am the editor of Moving Mountains: writing nature through illness and disability (Footnote), the culmination of a three year project of the same name which has been supported by multiple literary, nature, and disability organisations, and was awarded an Arts Council England grant at the end of 2021. I am a writer, artist and psychologist, and my writing has featured in Women on Nature, The Polyphony, The Clearing and Radio 3 (Landscapes of Recovery). In 2020, I set up ZebraPsych with the aim of raising awareness of energy limiting chronic illness, and I co-produced the anthology Disturbing the Body (Boudicca). I was Writer in Residence with the Sussex Wildlife Trust (2021-2022) and am currently a postgraduate researcher at the Centre for Place Writing, Manchester Metropolitan University, where I am conducting a practice led research project on the Romney Marshes through the experience of post-viral illness.
