About

At a time of ecological crisis, changing weather systems, species extinctions, and global pandemics, how can we care for wounded places and create healthier relations with our environments? We need to act now and start at home! Earth Writings will explore the mosaic of distinctive landscapes and multi-species well-being that comprise the web of life on the Irish island and beyond. 

The Earth Writings book series explores distinctive Irish environments to think about the challenges of our earth’s crises. Earth Writings fosters conversations and insight for these urgent times. A collaborative initiative between independent artists, activists and academics from Irish Universities, the Earth Writings books and related projects will explore how we got to this present emergency, and how we can begin to forge relationships of care with all the living beings that share our Earth.
