Nicola Peters

“The residency was the perfect place to write my poetry. The quiet helped me to listen more closely, and the wildlife to look more carefully at my surroundings.

I spent much of my time watching the autumn leaves falling and listening to the squirrels chatter.”

Nicola is a poet and undergraduate student of English and Creative Writing at Falmouth University. Engaging with ecopoetics and folk tales, much of her work is centred around her home in Cornwall.

Her current project is a collaboration with award-winning author Chelsey Flood on the poetry and prose collection An Wedhen Gwethow: The Cloutie Tree, which explores the relationships between Cornish trees and their ecological and cultural communities.
