Synopsis

MINDFOREST: where capitalist economics forms the basis of a language that exploits and damages the natural world, perhaps ecopoetry, whether rooted in South Africa or elsewhere, can offer a more enriching alternative tongue.

“Magical, thought-provoking, startling, uplifting and sometimes sad.” – Don Pinnock, Environmental Journalist & Poet.

Hailing from Liverpool, UK, Harry Owen made literary history as the inaugural Poet Laureate for Cheshire in 2003 during his residence in Congleton. In January 2008, he relocated to the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where he founded and hosted Reddits Poetry, a successful open-floor poetry event that thrived for over a decade.

Harry holds a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Pretoria, won the 2020 Standard Bank Ovation Award, and was shortlisted for the South African National Poetry Prize in 2023.

An ardent advocate for environmental issues, Harry is the author of ten poetry collections.
