Our next spring anthology will explore bodies in all their forms – animal, plant, bacterial, planetary, cosmological and symbolic – as well as questioning the boundaries modern culture puts between them. The more we learn of complexity, the less the concept of a single body, as an atomised unit, makes sense: on a microscopic scale, our systems are hosts to colonies of organisms that affect our physical and mental health; zooming out, we are all entwined in the movements of wheeling planets. Where does a ‘body’ start and end? What are the kinships between them? How, in these ungrounded times, do we relearn what it means to be protean and oracular, to shapeshift, to become an animal presence in the landscape again – to become re-embodied?
