Blossom Trees and Burnt Out Cars - 3. Who gets to be a nature writer?

Download 3. Who gets to be a nature writer?

Talia Randall meets three nature writers who don’t fit the traditional mould. Is nature writing only for old, posh guys, she asks. It might sound like a niche question but it opens up some incredible conversations about the nature of identity and the nature of us. Disabled nature poet, Jamie Hale, founder of the working class nature writing prize, Natasha Carthew and writer Anita Sethi are challenging the gatekeepers to let more people into this exclusive club. And they make Talia wonder - could she ever call herself a nature writer?
