Loved reading “On Earth or in Poems: the Many Lives of Al-Andalus”, by @eric_calderwood.

A book about the various ways in which Al-Andalus has been represented in art and literature, it made Granada come alive. And the chapter on Palestinian al-Andalus was particularly moving.

What do humans owe the ecosystems we've terrorized?

I spent a very long time reporting this story on whaling history, the North Atlantic right whale, and Nantucket. Please give it a read: https://t.co/TeJIuoayUo

I'm delighted to have an article in LIMN 11, the Obsolescence issue, out now in *gorgeous* print and online editions. I write about the politics of wind energy and the uncanny returns of whaling culture on Nantucket. 1/

I LOVED working with the editors at @limn_press: I loved the collaborative peer review process and being part of a cohort thinking together about obsolescence. I also appreciated the deep care that went into editing and design.
