Onto today’s episode!

LiLi K. Bright is a writer and workshop facilitator who’s obsessed with city nature. They write climate fiction and ecopoetry, and their main poetry project is about migration, liberation, London, Freetown, Accra, and the painted lady butterfly, exploring textile arts as part of their creative process. They love supporting people to connect with nature and creativity by facilitating writing workshops, climate science training and nonviolent communication training.

In this conversation we discuss:

• LiLi’s insights into a multi-media approach to their creativity


• The merging of science and art in their work and the ways in which these disciplines can interact


• Their relationship with nature, how it developed and how it has shifted and changed


• LiLi’s fascination with trees and birds


• Wellbeing for writers and reframing ‘time management’


• How LiLi approaches their creative practice
