For this episode we were honoured to welcome Scottish poet Gordon Meade to talk about his collection of poems in ZooSpeak, inspired by the photography of Jo-Anne McArthur. In this episode of the Anthrozoology Podcast we are honoured to welcome Scottish poet Gordon Meade. Gordon’s tenth collection of poems, inspired by photographs taken by Jo-Anne McArthur, is entitled Zoospeak. We often write and speak about the human tendency to use language as a tool of separation; to control the narrative of otherthanhuman lives. Gordon’s work instead uses language as a tool to highlight the many species with whom we life-share. In fact, otherthanhuman species have featured his life and work for decades.
