Birmingham Literature Festival 2026
Writing Nature with Paul Evans, Gregory Leadbetter and Brett Westwood
Beginning with the experiences of wonder and fascination when we pay close attention to the living world, writers Paul Evans (Far Wonders), Gregory Leadbetter (Wording: On Language and the Living World) and Brett Westwood (Wonderland) re-examine our understanding of ‘nature’ and ‘natural history’ in search of a language to deepen and revitalise the relation between perception and utterance, knowing and unknowing, the wild and the made: and explore their bearing on this time of ecological crisis.
In conversation with horticulturist and writer Alys Fowler.
