“Melissa, your podcast Stubborn Light of Things served as haven, a ramble through a curated landscape of nature and literature. We walked in a giant loop, denoted by the opening and closing poems you shared – Brackenberry’s “Brockhampton” and Zagajewski’s “Try to Praise the Mutilated World,” in which you bookended the podcase with two instances of the stubborn light of things.
Thank you for transporting us to the England of yore, the England of Hardy and Wordsworth, Edwards, Hughes, and Gilbert White & today's England of Berry, Beer, Liptrot, Jamie, Selby, and Fenton. Thank you for new words – “petrichor” and “apotropaic.”
Thank you for the discussions of time and the bravery of birds, the brightness found in the descent of night, and the truth inherent in trees moving in wind.

Hooray from Ana H. and Chris A. of University Park, MD”Read full review »

Thank you to Melissa Harrison for for all the thought and soul you have put into this podcast and to Tracey Thorn for introducing it to me in her New Statesman article.

“What a beautiful, therapeutic, life-affirming thing this podcast is. There’s arguably very little to it: a quiet layering of poems, observations on local nature, historic snippets of natural history. Yet everything about it speaks of love and care and the preciousness of each of us imperfect...”Read full review »
