Summary
Wild Seas, Wilder Cities is a ‘wild-seeded’ collection of short stories, poems, memoirs and environmental articles from 49 unique contributors, all concerned with showing the positive side of our relationship with the earth.

Thanks to funding from Portsmouth Creates, this audiobook features 50 different voices from across the Portsmouth community and beyond. Our readers range from teenagers to those in their nineties, including experienced actors, writers and volunteers from the public.

The many writers, poets and performers in this audiobook have given their work freely, so all profits are donated to the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust for their Solent Seagrass Restoration Project.

Recorded at the award-winning Casemates Studios in Portsmouth.

Reviews for the paperback:

‘Calls to us in a rousing chorus of voices … a lyrical force for change.’ Nicola Chester, award winning author of On Gallows Down and Ghosts of the Farm.

‘Bursting with inspiring and hopeful visions’ Carys Bray, author of A Song for Issy Bradley

‘Mixing fact, fiction and poetry is such a good idea – we bear witness to the natural world in many ways, and the pieces come in all shapes and sizes, carrying messages of determination, love for nature, positive actions and the power of community.’ Sarah Jane Butler, author of Starling

‘Full of love, enlightenment, practicality and poetry.’ Toby Litt, author of Patience

‘A delightfully encouraging collection of writings on the ways we can help make the world wilder again, how we can change the narrative on climate change. Vibrant and alive, these are wonderful tales told of renaturing – of striving to support life in all its glorious forms on the earth, of restoring hope for the future.’ Dr James Canton, Director of Wild Writing, University of Essex
