I'm thrilled to share my new essay in @aeon.co Who are The Fire Tamers? For the past year, I travelled through salt marshes, visited remote farmhouses & oncology clinics to uncover the secret world of French healers working in parallel with conventional medicine. aeon.co/essays/who-a...

Painting created by Muriel Lewis c.1968 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. This work is unlike her others which depict Surrey villages & autobiographical scenes from life before & during hospitalisation whose seeming tranquility are suffused with disquiet

Painting of a female figure with long black hair and her hands crossed over her stomach, standing feet wile alert made from white triangles outlined in grey on a plaster pink background composed of white geometric shapes.
The paper is yellowed by age and in the bottom left in cursive script, the words to Adamson, his kind of for, reference front hall

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Found a bonus Puffin Post in a pile of papers I was tidying away. An almost wistful melancholy quality to this one, Jill McDonald having rendered every little detail beautifully as usual, that perfect skyline darkening under dusk, the aeroplane almost exiting the frame

Cover of a puffin post magazine featuring a gorgeous colourful illustration of two cartoon puffins with the years 1971 and 1972 emblazoned in pale pink on their tummies hovering above a shadowy city skyline with a blazing pink yellow and orange dusk behind them, about all this the words puffin post in white hand lettering
