What Anthropocene memories can poetry anticipate? The past we are in that will have to have been (or not). Future Anterior brings poetry to COP26 as a means to solicit listening, dialogue, and exchange – amongst ourselves, including different languages and cultures, but also between the different senses, and across geographical and species barriers. As an accredited NGO-observer (with Universities of Warwick/ Lund) I will be moving between the 'Blue Zone', the 'Green Zone' and the Glasgow city streets throughout the first week of COP26. (I have a slot 4-5:30pm on the afternoon of 3 Nov to lead poetry workshops in the Green Zone.) I have compiled a small anthology of poetry by some of our most brilliant poets (Will Alexander, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Stephen Collis, CA Conrad, Alec Finlay, Brenda Hillman, Robert Kocik, Layli Long Soldier, Craig Santos Perez, Evelyn Reilly, Linda Russo, Jennifer Scappetone, Cole Swensen, amongst others), printed as a pamphlet that I will be giving away all week. I hope to offer this pamphlet as a prompt to reflection and conversation and would be happy to stream some of what I am hearing and discussing with delegates and people in the street, whenever there is a bit of space on your stream.
