Our series on 'The Vanishing' continues with a poem by Eric Nicholson, with an image by Beatrice Forshall
We are living in an age of loss: the sixth mass extinction. Following the shocking report that the planet has lost half its wildlife in the past 40 years, we bring you ‘The Vanishing’.

How do we, as writers and artists, stay human during such times?
