Publications

You can read the Âé¶¹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çliterary anthology, WolfWords: The soil has started to shift, online here

The result of an open call, the collection features poetry, art, and photographic contributions from across the Âé¶¹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çcommunity, including students, staff, fellows, and alumni. It is centered around the theme of ‘Growth’, and attracted a diverse number of submissions, from reflections on the power of learning for communal endurance, to commentaries on the importance of kindness.
