About this listen
Ian Grosz talks with author and poet Leonie Charlton about spiritual ecology, writing the more-than-human, and Scotland’s wild deer dilemma.
Leonie reads an extract from her diary essay ‘Fragments’, which first featured in Issue 1 of the Paperboats Zine and is included in the travel writing anthology There She Goes, edited by Esa Aldegheri and published by Saraband in March 2025. She discusses the spiritual connections we have lost with nature, and the way she approaches writing about the more-than-human world. Leonie also talks about her PhD by practice with the University of the Highlands and Islands, which explores the conflict of interests inherent in deer management and rewilding.
The episode was recorded in November 2024.
