We are delighted to host the launch of The Last Lighthouse in Rising Seas with Helen Moore. How can we communicate the unspeakable, illuminate the shadow realms of our society and intersecting social / ecological crises, whilst negotiating our own loves, losses and responsibilities? In ecofeminist poems written over a decade, the personal is situated within the larger social / geopolitical structures that circumscribe our lives, with themes of resistance, regeneration and co-creation with non-human nature offering a beacon for these turbulent times. Helen will be reading at bookhaus alongside Ambrose Musiyiwa. Tickets cost £7 and inlude a glass of wine or a soft drink. Dr Helen Moore is a pioneering British ecopoet, socially engaged artist, and writer based in Dorset. She has published three ecopoetry collections, Hedge Fund, And Other Living Margins (Shearsman Books, 2012), ECOZOA (Permanent Publications, 2015), acclaimed by the Australian poet John Kinsella as ‘a milestone in the journey of ecopoetics’, and The Mother Country (Awen Publications, 2019) exploring aspects of British colonial history. Ambrose Musiyiwa is a poet and journalist with a background in the intersection between activism, migration, and community action. He coordinates Journeys in Translation, an international, volunteer-driven initiative that is translating Over Land, Over Sea: Poems for those seeking refuge (Five Leaves Publications, 2015) into other languages. He is also on the editorial board of the Africa Migration Report Poetry Anthology Series.
