Gordon’s tenth collection of poems, inspired by photographs taken by Jo-Anne McArthur, is entitled Zoospeak. We often write and speak about the human tendency to use language as a tool of separation; to control the narrative of otherthanhuman lives. Gordon’s work instead uses language as a tool to highlight the many species with whom we life-share. In fact, otherthanhuman species have featured his life and work for decades.</p> <p><strong>Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!</strong></p> <p>Follow us on Twitter: @TheAnthrozoopod</p> <p>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthrozoopod/</p> <p>To access audio-only versions please our official Website: https://anthrozoopod.wixsite.com/anthrozoopod</p> <p><strong>PodCrew</strong>: &nbsp;Kris Hill PhD Student, University of Exeter kh458@exeter.ac.uk &nbsp;https://katzenlife.wordpress.com/</p> <p>Dr. Michelle Szydlowski Assistant Professor at Beacon College, US ms835@exeter.ac.uk &nbsp;&nbsp;www.internationalelephants.org</p> <p>Sarah Oxley Heaney PhD Student, University of Exeter &nbsp;sh750@exeter.ac.uk &nbsp;www.kissingsharks.com</p> <p><strong>Podlet Guest</strong>: &nbsp;Gordon Meade Scottish Poet egordonmeade1@btinternet.com &nbsp;https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poet/gordon-meade/</p>
