If you read oh mag regularly you’ll be familiar with our brilliant Nature Diarist Elizabeth-Jane Burnett. Elizabeth-Jane is an author, academic and founder of Grow Your Own Creativity.
A writer of English and Kenyan heritage, she was born in Devon and her work is inspired by the landscape in which she was raised. Her poetry has been highly commended in the Forward Prize and Swims was longlisted for the Laurel Prize and a Sunday Times Poetry Book of the Year. She was selected for the 2020 British Council/National Centre for Writing International Literature Showcase and leads the British Academy / Leverhulme Trust project, Creative Writing and Climate Change: Moss, Wetlands and Women (2018-20).
Her unforgettable works include poetry collection Swims, her latest collection, Of Sea (both with Penned in the Margins) and the luminous poetic-prose memoir, The Grassling.
She shares a short nature-inspired playlist, linked to her writing in each issue, which is also woven together with the issue’s theme. Find her playlists below – and enjoy listening to them on a nature walk.
