Wild Seas, Wilder Cities

Wild Seas, Wilder Cities - an anthology by Pens of the Earth, edited by Helen & Richard Salsbury (298 pages, paperback)

Taking its ethos as ‘local action wherever you are’ Wild Seas, Wilder Cities features stories, poems, memoirs, environmental articles and illustrations – some from the Pens of the Earth website, some entirely new, but all inspired by the many amazing environmental initiatives of individuals and organisations in Portsmouth, around the UK and across the world.

Pens of the Earth is about celebrating the small differences that we can achieve; how we can make our environment better for ourselves and nature, and how together we can fight climate

change through our words and actions.

All proceeds from this book are donated to the Solent Seagrass Restoration Project.

‘Bursting with inspiring and hopeful visions’ Carys Bray, author of A Song for Issy Bradley

A lyrical force for change’ Nicola Chester, writer for The Guardian

‘Mixing fact, fiction and poetry is such a good idea – we bear witness to the natural world in many ways, and the pieces come in all shapes and sizes, carrying messages of determination, love for nature, positive actions and the power of community.’ Sarah Jane Butler, author of Starling

‘Full of love, enlightenment, practicality and poetry.’ Toby Litt, author of Patience

‘A delightfully encouraging collection of writings on the ways we can help make the world wilder again, how we can change the narrative on climate change. Vibrant and alive, these are wonderful tales told of renaturing – of striving to support life in all its glorious forms on the earth, of restoring hope for the future.’ Dr James Canton, Director of Wild Writing, University of Essex
