We have had three episodes of the More than Human: Creative Expressions webinar series so far, featuring speakers from South Asia, Latin America, and Scandinavia. Our next episode is with celebrated author and poet Sumana Roy in conversation with series coordinator Shrishtee Bajpai. Sumana will talk about her experience and share meditations in writing, especially how trees, plants and the rest of nature are reflected within the many genres she traverses in her work. The title of this episode is taken from her award-winning non-fiction book 'How I Became a Tree', which features "stunning meditations on forests, plant life, time, self, and the exhaustion of being human evoke the spacious, relaxed rhythms of the trees themselves."
