Our next read is Strangers: Essays on the Human and Nonhuman by Rebecca Tamás. It is a slim, radical, and compulsively engaging book. Through essays with titles such as On Watermelon, On Panpsychism and On Greenness, Tamás proposes another way of seeing, another way of relating, one that acknowledges our place in a web of life far greater than ourselves.
Rebecca Tamás’s poetry and criticism has been published widely. She is the co-editor of Spells: Occult Poetry for the 21st Century, with Sarah Shin, published by Ignota Books and her first poetry collection, WITCH was published by Penned in the Margins in 2019; to praise from the Poetry Book Society, the Guardian, Telegraph, Irish Times, TLS, White Review and The Paris Review. Rebecca is a lecturer in Creative Writing at York St John University, where she co-curates The York Centre for Writing Poetry Series.
Join us to talk about these essays via Zoom on Thursday 3rd December from 7 pm - 8.30 pm. Tamás will join us for the last 30 minutes for a Q&A.
