James Canton
Wild The World: Nature Writing
Friday 22 May, 10.30am
National Centre for Writing, Dragon Hall
Tickets: £30.00 - £40.00
Step beyond your doorstep and into the beauty of the natural world around you. James Canton, author of Renaturing: Small Ways to Wild the World, invites you to explore the core techniques of nature writing through conversation, writing, and reflection.
No prior writing experience is required — just a desire to delve into the wild that surrounds us.
James Canton is Director of Wild Writing at the University of Essex. His books include The Oak Papers (2020) – Radio 4’s Book of the Week – which explores some of the ties between humans and oaks since prehistory, meditating on our need to connect with the natural world. His recently published book, Renaturing: Small Ways to Wild the World (2025) investigates ways of democratising rewilding, how we can all be involved in nature restoration.
