Genevieve Carver
Genevieve Carver is a writer and poet with special interests in nature writing and interdisciplinary collaboration. Her first collection, A Beautiful Way to be Crazy (Verve Poetry Press 2020) was the result of a gig theatre project with a live band celebrating female experiences in the music industry. Her pamphlet Landsick (Broken Sleep Books 2023) began to explore themes of connectivity and discord between humans and the natural world, and her most recent book, Birds / Humans / Machines / Dolphins (Guillemot Press 2024) is the result of a residency with the University of Aberdeen writing in response to ecological field research studying dolphin populations in the Moray Firth, and fulmars in Orkney. She won the Moth Nature Writing Prize for this work, of which judge Max Porter said:
"It’s such an interesting and surprising hybrid, which manages to be deeply funny and very sad at the same time, an unusual feat in both science writing and poetry.”
Genevieve has appeared at events and festivals from the Edinburgh Fringe to the Canadian Rockies. She also has a wealth of experience tutoring, mentoring and delivering workshops, and is currently a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at the University of Aberdeen.
