The Therapeutic Poet in conversation with Susan Earlam on eco-anxiety

Today I am joined by Susan Earlam. Susan has been a very successful blogger in the past and her short fiction has appeared in publications and anthologies including Pure Slush, Feminist Surrealism Journal, The Debutante, Mslexia, Reflex Function and Cabinet of Heed. 

This year she released her debut novel Earthly Bodies, a dystopian eco horror story that spans the ages, where strangers reveal their contribution to an extraordinary act of survival.

‘Joy as an act of resistance’, as mentioned by Susan, is a quote from the poet Toi Deritcotte. You can read more about her here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/toi-derricotte

The artist that I mentioned is on Instagram is Shamsia Hassani and you can see more about her here: https://www.shamsiahassani.net/
