Summertime Reads

Summer is here! I wanted to share my favourite summertime reads, including poetry, fiction, and nature writing, that celebrate the season’s colour, warmth and light. They’re largely set during summer, charting journeys through the landscape, exploring flora and fauna, and taking joy in colour.

My summertime reads


‘Pharmacopoeia’ by artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman is wonderful. It’s filled with stunning writing on nature, gardening and his home at Prospect Cottage, a fisherman's hut on the wild, remote shingle beach in Dungeness.

Writing with the Seasons is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.


Make time for your writing this summer. During June and July, I’m running early morning creative writing workshops for Write & Shine. Join me for sessions on summer sunrises, wildflowers and the language of colour. Workshops take place on Zoom, UK time. Explore the programme here!
