Paul Kingsnorth is a prominent British writer and environmental activist whose work delves deep into the complex relationship between humanity and the natural world. He first gained recognition as a co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project, a global collective of thinkers, writers, and artists committed to reevaluating our place in a rapidly changing world. Through his thought-provoking essays and books, Kingsnorth challenges conventional narratives about environmentalism and offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing our planet. His writings often explore the tensions between modernity and nature, the consequences of industrialization, and the need for reconnection with the natural world.
Kingsnorth’s literary contributions include books like “The Wake,” a historical novel set in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest of England, and “Savage Gods,” a personal exploration of identity and belonging in an era of ecological crisis. His writings invite readers to engage deeply with questions of environmental stewardship and the human experience, making him a vital voice in the ongoing conversation about our responsibility to the planet and the future of our species.
What was it for? What was the point? We look at the changing climate and the fallen trees and the plastic in the oceans and the anomie of our phone-drugged children and something tells us we are disconnected but we don't know what to do with this feeling.
