Tom Wentworth says:
The Maligned Species project poses such an exciting challenge for me. I am a playwright masquerading as a poet (I write poems occasionally and purely for my own pleasure!) which means that this really will be a voyage of discovery – not only into my own poetic voice and what I can achieve within the form but also about the four Maligned Species themselves. I am eagerly looking forward to researching each one and seeing what sparks a new poem (or I hope several.) I have no expectations of the project, except that I would like to write the best poem I can and learn from the experience and wisdom of the more experienced poets around me. This is one of the biggest joys of the project (plus – lucky me am producing the podcast so get to hear lots of hints and tips from the group before they go online for your listening pleasure!) I can’t wait to get started.
Maligned Species: Poetry. Science. And you.
Great title for project – best of luck. Btw grey squirrels – rodents with excellent PR.

Thanks Tom Bryson ! Grey Squirrels do look remarkably cute… just before they eat all our pears and chew their way through the Salvia !
