On Valentine’s Day #LindaFrance began our #EcoSonnetChain for which 14 poets wrote a sonnet linked by last & 1st lines.
She said, ‘Our chain aims to embody the Amazonian ethic of mutirão – collective action based on the understanding everything is connected to everything else.’
Here’s #LindaFrance’s generous and thought-provoking post on the #EcoSonnetChain on her Substack. As she says:
‘Our chain has a cinematic quality – each individual sonnet a scene, directed by another eye.’

Now that it’s complete, we’d like to thank #LindaFrance for everything she’s done to make the #EcoSonnetChain such a success - it’s our best one yet, and that’s entirely down to her selection and editing nous.

Here’s a piece from eco-sonneteer @jemma_borg which argues:
‘Poetry can get past all the kinds of barriers we set up within and between ourselves and between us and what we’ve historically called nature – that which we are embedded in.’
