What do plants have to do with creative work?
The first event in the Plants and Creative Practice webinar series brings together poets John McAuliffe (The University of Manchester) and Cathy Bowman (Indiana University) for a lively exchange of work and conversation about how plant life might enter, shape, and even unsettle contemporary poetry.
Sharing selections from their own work, McAuliffe and Bowman will read, reflect, and discuss poetic practice, attention, and the vegetal worlds that both inspire and press on poetic language.
This event is only open to staff and students from University of Manchester, or Indiana University Bloomington
Bloomington-Manchester Plants and Creative Practice Series (2026)
What do plants have to do with creative work? This webinar series from Indiana University’s Environmental Futures in the Arts and Humanities Initiative and The University of Manchester’s Creative Manchester research platform explores Plants and Creative Practice through three dialogues between writers and artists based at these two universities. Each session pairs creative practitioners in focused conversations on how plant life shapes creative work across Poetry, Sound, and Textiles to reflect upon what vegetal thinking can shape artistic practice today.
