I want to talk about my journey as a writer, and I want to talk about nature, the writing of nature, and how it is our most crucial story – existential, in fact: the story upon which the future depends.

From the pioneering pen of a continually visionary writer, ‘Burning Snowflake’ is a fierce and rallying human cry – for exquisite craft, for radical imaginings: the ignition points of our survival.
