Lost Lexicon

Reading Dark Mountain by Kit Boyd (from Issue 16 - REFUGE)

‘What does language look like when it comes from a non-human place, and how does the Earth speak when it’s sentient?’ Began in the run up to 2019’s Remembrance. Lost Species Day on ‘Original Names’, Lost Lexicon looks at how words shape our perception of the living world and how writing and art can recover and reshape our relationship with the Earth.
