There is a very interesting new project just started at the RSA Arts and Ecology centre. A dialogue between body and soul is a poetic exchange between John Kinsella and Melanie Challenger very much like Likestarlings, but come about because the two poets want to meet but don’t feel they can fly, for environmental reasons. Kinsella’s first poem is up there and worth a read.
This article at the Guardian might help explain why we chose starlings as our mascot. It also links to some fine poems about birds.
