Welcome to A Wild Green Heart. I'm pleased to welcome you, whether you're a regular here or if it's your first time. I hope you find some nourishing morsels amongst today's offering, which is going to focus on creative practice, and specifically how I've long opted to do that in the context of communities and collaborations. Over the last eighteen months or so, I've mentioned the poetry and self-publishing collective I'm a member of, Too Few The Poets, numerous times, usually in connection to on
