Joe Wright is a judge for the DIRT Plantable Poetry Competition
Squad writer, Joe Wright, is one of the judges for the DIRT Plantable Poetry Competition. Poets who care deeply about our living planet and want to experience writing in collaboration with another poet are invited to submit work for the first DIRT plantable poetry competition pamphlet.
DIRT commissions pairs of poets to write collaborative poems in response to climate science. The project models Earth-positive publishing. Previous commissions include poets Clare Pollard paired with Anglia Ruskin student Freya Sacksen, and Alycia Pirmohamed paired with Hannah Copley.
“The whole collaboration experience was so lovely that we carried on writing and talking about it afterwards. Honestly, DIRT’s one of the most magical things to be a part of, just do it! Being involved in a DIRT collaboration and getting to work with Alycia and Alice really has changed how I think about writing and my creative practice.” ~ Hannah Copley
The competition runs from the 1st to 14th of June.
