Celebrate the launch of Tendrils with readings from Kat Benedict, Chloe Elliott, Supriya Kaur Dhaliwal and Alice Willitts, followed by an in-conversation with the editors about fieldnotes' ongoing work as a collective.
Tendrils threads through grief, joy and solidarity toward futures shaped by collaboration and care. Reaching through ecological crises, these poems seek new ways of living kinship in the more-than-human world.
This anthology gathers international voices that entangle, illuminate and resist – a collective turn to the future with renewal and possibility – edited and introduced by fieldnotes collective: Pratyusha, Jessica J. Lee, Alycia Pirmohamed and Nina Mingya Powles.
This launch takes place after a separate workshop exploring immersive sensory writing, contemporary ecopoetics, and radical community authorship. Combined tickets are available for both events.
