In memory, the treeline is a shifting state.
Prose poem, nature diary, poetic inquiry — these paths converge in this too is a glistening, a tender experiment in collaborative writing created over the course of one weekend. Disrupting notions of genre and authorship, this is a tactile and immersive meditation on friendship, creativity, the body and the migrant self, writing against the backdrop of ongoing genocide and environmental degradation. In conversation with other cross-genre collaborative works such as THREADS and Siblings, this too is a glistening investigates the radical potential of collaboration in ecopoetics and environmental writing.

Lee and Nina Mingya Powles, based between London, Edinburgh and Berlin, whose creative practices intersect between poetry, nature writing, publishing and teaching. this too is a glistening was produced with support of funding from the Four Nations International Fund.
