Can a forest you can eat also rebuild a neighbourhood? In this new post I examine how food forests in Germany, Italy and the US demonstrate that repairing land, growing food, and building community can occur at the same time.

Step into a food forest and your first thought might be that nobody planted anything. There are no neat rows. There is a layered tangle instead: fruit and nut trees overhead, berry bushes beneath t…

This poem by Pádraig Ó Tuama asks us to re-orient how we think about loss, memory, and closure That loss is not always final or absolute Remembering is not always a good thing, forgetting can be an act of self-care The ending of a book is the nature of stories #poetry #poemoftheday

My seventy-seven-year-old father put his reading glasses on to help my mother do the buttons on the back of her dress… —Jackie Kay, “George Square” from LIFE MASK, @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social 2005 Today, 21 September, is the International Day of Peace #peace #poem #poetry www.un.org/en/observanc...
George Square
by Jackie Kay

My seventy-seven-year-old father
put his reading glasses on
to help my mother do the buttons
on the back of her dress.
‘What a pair the two of us are!’
my mother said, ‘Me with my sore wrist,
you with your bad eyes, your soft thumbs!’

And off they went, my two parents
to march against the war in Iraq,
him with his plastic hips, her with her arthritis
to congregate at George Square where the banners
waved at each other like old friends, flapping,
where they’d met for so many marches over their years,
for peace on earth, for pity’s sake, for peace, for peace.
