Next week I will record a programme about the life & times of E.O. Wilson for the BBC series ‘Great Lives’. A truly brilliant scientist dubbed ‘Darwin’s Heir’ & ‘the father of biodiversity’. His work has been an inspiration for me since my undergraduate days, & remains so today.

'...a collection that is just as wild as the beasts that populate it, allowing the speaker to find a space for herself within the menagerie as ‘the curator of my own heaven’.’ – Freya Jackson, @Poetry_London, on Pascale Petit's ninth collection Beast.

We’re delighted to welcome #PascalePetit to the #ArtSonnetChain, especially as she’s not only written a fine sonnet, but let it give rise in turn to an artwork.

... if I think
of your leash and jewelled collar,
and of your bids for freedom -
I'd want to meet the artist
