#NationalPoetryDay seems a good time to highlight one of my favourite poems resulting from Genevieve Carver’s residency at the University of Aberdeen Lighthouse Field Station. This one is from her new collection published by Guillemot Press lnkd.in/euHFpjeY

Excited to present tomorrow at the #SIME2023 conference on behalf of my co-authors. I'll be sharing our research on soundscapes and porpoise behaviour during the decommissioning of an oil and gas platform. Can't wait to hear the other talks too!

Are poems ‘about’ things or are they things? If this is about something maybe it’s toxic individualism & internet culture. If it’s a thing I hope it scuttles up your leg & shakes brine all over your feed. From Landsick @brokensleep . Filmed @ @CromartyLH. #hermitcrabs

Thanks @ConsilienceJrnl for publishing 'What You Don't See on David Attenborough is all the Waiting' in the 'struggle' issue - a poem bout failing to see wildlife. Consilience is a science-arts journal & worth a read! #sciarts #DavidAttenborough #wildisles bit.ly/Consilience_struggle

Just over a month until #Landsick is published by @brokensleep ! Here is a poem from it, filmed on beautiful Eynhallow by @CromartyLH / @UoABioSci . Fun fact: in the whole book I use the word LOVE a whopping 20 times, 11 of which are in this poem ♥️♥️🌊🌊
