We posted @janeburn.bsky.social’s elegy for the extinct golden toad, no.5 in our #EcoSonnetChain, on Thursday as usual/ever, but circumstances dictated that we didn’t get round to sharing here till now: newbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/04/10/e...

I have written a sonnet as part of the eco sonnet chain here. I dedicated mine to the Golden Toad, and what it means to know too many species have vanished newbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/04/10/e...

I've completed a pair of paintings, A2 size. I've been inspired by a book I've recently read. I'm going to write a Substack about them soon. This book has given me a lot to think about & words were not enough to process it, so art came into the equation too.

A poem from my @ninearchespress.bsky.social collection The Apothecary of Flight. I am a person with autism who also struggles with hypermiobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome & so much of life is diffucult. Poetry helps me to express myself.

I have created a 'folding poem', which is the result of a period of experimentation. I've written a Substack which I'll also link to in the comments, as there are still photos and text included there. There's audio on this video, which takes a little time to begin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z8h...

My new picture 'In the Womb of the Earth' I wanted to express the importance of sheltering within art - while I'm doing it, it's safe place - how important it is to find places of shelter in nature, important to even imagine these sheltering places, imagine yourself into them. A2, inkpen.
