En simtur i en engelsk vallgrav tar oss in i den brittiska genren nature writing. Och finns det en motsvarighet i Sverige? Om och med författare som Roger Deakin, Kathleen Jamie och Helena Granström. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. För 25 år sedan startade en våg av brittiska naturböcker. Roger Deakin var med boken ”Waterlog” en av dem som öppnade dammluckorna och snart svämmade bokhandlarna över av naturböcker med en personlig touch. Genren fick till och med ett namn – nature writing.Naturmorgons Mats Ottosson har gjort hembesök hos två av författarna i genren – i Edinburgh hos skotska Kathleen Jamie som skrivit böckerna ”Findings”, ”Sightlines” och ”Surfacing”, och så hos tidigare nämnda Roger Deakin i Suffolk. Han är visserligen avliden sedan 2006 men det går att hälsa på där han bodde, Walnut tree farm. Det går till och med att ta en simtur i vattendraget ”the moat” i Deakins anda – det var här han fick idén här att simma sig genom Storbritanniens alla åar och floder, det som sedan blev boken Waterlog. Sagt och gjort, Mats Ottosson tog en grön simtur här, och passade också på att intervjua naturjournalisten Patrick Barkham som skrivit en biografi om Roger Deakin.Dagens program tar alltså avstamp i den brittiska genren nature writing, men undersöker också svenska naturskildringar. Från Harry Martinson till Helena Granström. Den senare möter vi i ett samtal om vilken natur som är viktigast att skildra, kalhygget eller gammelskogen? Och hur man beskriver naturen på naturens sätt, där arterna får ta plats – samtidigt som många i Sverige idag inte kan namnen på dem eller har egna personliga erfarenheter av naturen.Vi ringer också upp Daniel Sandström, förläggaren som gav ut boken ”Ålevangeliet”. Varför blev just den en succé, behöver vi fler sådana böcker och borde vi också ha en genre som ”nature writing” i Sverige?Mikael Niemi medverkar med en nyskriven kråkvinkel just på temat att skriva om naturen.I studion finns både reporter Mats Ottosson och programledare Jenny Berntson Djurvall.
Joining me on the Synthetic Dreams podcast this week Australian musician, Karen Vogt. Karen's experimental and ambient solo works are based around improvisation, often manipulating her vocals to add layers of emotional depth to her works. Vogt, who is based in Paris, spoke to me about the recording of her wonderful, improvised record ‘Waterlog', which deals with the grief she experienced following the death of her beloved cat. It's a truly wonderful album, that's full of depth and emotion, yet uplifting and comforting at the same time. We also discussed her time working with legendary Cocteau Twins member, Robin Guthrie, producer of her band Heligoland, which she co-founded back in 1999. Karen Vogt's ‘Waterlog' is available to buy digitally and on cassette, via Penelope Trappes' excellent record label Nite Hive Head over to: https://nitehive.bandcamp.com/ For more information about Karen's work, visit: https://karenvogtmusic.com/ Karen Vogt - We Coalesce

Welcome to the Blue Million Miles: Dispatches from a Swim Through Alabama. You can listen to an audio version of this intro post above or you can read it below — they’re the same, give or take a field recording and music by the Skull Island Inquirer.Like all the best swims do, my first this year came spur of the moment. This was a few months back, late March. After one of those Zoom calls. If you’ve ever Zoom-ed then surely you know the kind I’m talking about. The rare experience that might justify the use of a word like ennervating. Anyway, after I hung up, I realized there was a window of time before I had to go pick up my daughter. Typically when that happens, I fill the time by crawling under my desk and groaning.You might hear that and think that I must have been in a bad place. I’m not sure that I would say that, though. I wouldn’t say I was much of anywhere, really. Not fully oriented to time and space. Maybe you’ve felt something like that lately? An… uncanniness? The latency of the video call carrying over, off-screen. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s that I work in a basement office with no windows, and I’d been sitting there for months, trying — and mostly failing — to track down sources for a story, hearing every variety of “This phone is no longer in service.” (which, by the way, there are way more variations than I’d imagined or ever really thought possible.) Maybe it’s that the past two years have taken a toll on me that I haven’t really admitted to yet, haven’t worked through. And I haven’t slept or written much lately, leaving my sense-making faculties at an all-time low. So okay maybe it is just me. Maybe. But also maybe not? Doesn’t something just seem a little off? The number you have dialed is no longer in service.Which, I mean, go figure. You don’t need to be an armchair psychologist to try and account for the bad vibes, as it were, the strangest of the moment — one of illness, neglect, death, insurrection, war, despair, collapse, isolation. And it’s like the weight of all that, it exerts a gravity, creates its own tide, and we’re caught in it, headed out to sea.I feel that, anyway.But so that day, after the video call, for whatever blessed reason, instead of my usual brooding, drifting, I thought to go swimming instead.There’s a state park on the outskirts of Auburn, Alabama, where I live. Thanks to the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, that park has a lake. That lake has a roped-off section for swimming. And, that afternoon, I had the place to myself. I walked through the shallows until the water came to mid-thigh then I plunged, dolphin kicking for as long as my breath would hold. I surfaced out by the rope. This was March, but, you know, Alabama March — the water was already bathwater warm in parts, still bracing cold in others. I paddled an easy, aimless breaststroke for a time, admired a scrim of pollen on the water’s surface, watched the clouds above glide into the tree line. I climbed onto the concrete jetty just to be able to dive into the water again. I couldn’t tell you how long I was out there. Time had escaped me, but for once it was welcome.Two years ago, while I was waiting for Ozzie to be born — Ozzie, that’s my daughter’s name — I sat down to write her a letter. Or, if not a letter, exactly, just…I wanted to set down on paper what I knew about life. Epiphanies. Insights I’d gleaned. Some fatherly advice.I had one pearl of wisdom off the top of my head. Once, while we were having dessert together, my father looked at me from across the picnic table and observed that I had come to know one of the deep truths of the universe: that you should always let your Klondike bar melt a bit before eating.So I wrote that down. Let the Klondike melt a little. Got it.Okay. But what else? Huh. I bit my knuckle. Doodled. Did I really have nothing else to impart? I had to stand and pace the room in order to beat back the antsiness that turned to panic that turned to dread about the person I’d become, the life I’d squandered. How unqualified I was to be responsible for another life, a young innocent child who may not even like Klondike bars.Then, with forehead-slapping clarity, it came to me. I sat back down and wrote this sentence:You should swim whenever the opportunity presents itself and you should live in such a way that you’re creating those opportunities with regularity.And…that’s it. I’m looking at that page in my diary right now and that’s all I wrote down: Let the Klondike bar melt and swim whenever possible. And you know what? Looking back, I stand by it.Do you know that Loudon Wainright tune? “The Swimming Song”? This summer I went swimming, it goes. This summer I might have drowned. But I held my breath and I kicked my feet and I moved my arms around. Love that song. Find yourself in deep water and there’s nothing to do but swim. You’re weightless, buoyant. Like you’re on another planet. Or back where you were when you first came into this one.That afternoon in March, when I finally clambered out onto the bank, I was goose-pimpled and humming. Glad I’d taken my own advice for once. And so it was with soggy shorts and an idiot grin I hadn’t worn in some months that I went to pick up my daughter from daycare.There’s a book by the environmental writer Roger Deakin called Waterlog: A Swimmer’s Journey Through Britain. Published in 1999, the book chronicles a series of swims in the rivers, ponds, pools, and seas throughout the country, with digressions into memoir, natural and cultural history. For Deakin, swimming — wild swimming, that’s what they call there (say what you will about the English, they know how to turn a phrase) — was a subversive activity, one that allowed you to “regain a sense of what is old and wild…by getting off the beaten track and breaking free of the official versions of things.” It affords a “frog’s-eye view” of the world, as he put it. If you’re in search of something, wild swimming’s not a bad way to go looking for it. About a decade after Waterlog was first published, Joe Minihane, a freelance writer in London, retraced Deakin’s steps, revisiting the swimming holes documented in Waterlog. Those trips became the basis for Minihane’s own book, Floating: A Life Regained. As the subtitle might suggest, wild swimming became a balm for Minihane’s anxieties about work and life.No surprise, maybe, that I related to Minihane — saw my anxieties about how to work, how to write, how to move through the world reflected in his own. Did I see the spine of his book on my shelf that afternoon when I knocked off early and hit the lake? Not consciously, but the mind is funny like that.I mention those two swimmers, those two writers, those two books because this summer I’m going to take my own advice and follow in Deakin’s and Minihane’s footsteps — err, breaststrokes: I’m going to swim through Alabama, seeking out the best swimming holes the state has to offer — Appalachia foothills to Mobile Bay; Double Spring to Wildwood Shores. I’m gonna hold my breath and kick my feet and move my arms around.And I’ll chronicle those trips here.I should say: I’m not a southerner by birth. I don’t carry the weight of that particular circumstance. But this summer starts my tenth year living here — the longest I’ve lived anywhere. I love it here. And hate it, too. And, for better and for worse, the place has had a profound impact on me, my work, and my understanding of my place in this country. I apprenticed as a writer here and wrote my first book here — a book about this state and its tortured past. I fell in love here, got married here, became a father here, and am raising my child here. So, I keep asking myself, where am I, exactly? What’s it like to be here, now? Is there a there still there? What’s become of this place? What’s it becoming? I don’t want to retreat from life. I want to get back out in it. A meander through its waterways seems as good a way to do it as any.If you’ve spent any time in Alabama, it might seem self-evident that someone would want to seek out the best swimming holes here. If you haven't spent much time in Alabama, the notion that you’d want to do much of anything here might seem strange. But despite its national reputation as a shittown, a backwater, Alabama is also a place of staggering beauty. One of the most biodiverse places in the country. And it’s full of choice swim spots. Or, you know, the ones that haven’t been ravaged by chicken plant runoff and coal ash.So I’m off to go see what I can see; swim where I can swim. You can follow along here, every other Monday.

On this months episode of the WaterLog Podcast, Howard & Dan will talk about Hurricane Ida and the Corps, and how well the Federal Government is equipped to handle the response today compared to Katrina. In addition, the State of New Jersey is sinking, and that leaves many questions to answer about how it will protect itself from rising seas, what that'll take, and who will pay for it. Of course, as we near the end of the August recess, we'll give some outlook on the congressional and legislative processes that are about to start up again.
Land and sea meet in a dance of littoral literature on this week's episode, in which two writers train their minds on overlooked expanses. Gillian Osborne considers the American lawn, a private buffer expressing our nostalgia for common spaces. Leanne Shapton takes us into open water, where swimmers find vulnerability, wonder, and a sense of scale. They examine how great writers have drawn inspiration from the outdoors and crafted lyrical prose that unsettles the barriers between humans and nature, past and present, death and life. First, Harper's Magazine web editor Violet Lucca speaks with Leanne Shapton about the work of the writer, activist, and filmmaker Roger Deakin, which Shapton reviewed in the August issue of Harper's. Like Deakin, Shapton is an experienced swimmer (she once participated in two Olympic tryouts), and she uses her marine inclinations to understand Deakin's travel memoir Waterlog: A Swimmer's Journey Through Britain, as well as his life and politics. Only a lucky few can swim regularly from a young age, and Shapton discusses her desire that the experience of open-water swimming—as one means of being “with” nature, rather than “in and on it”—might be made available to people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Next, Lucca speaks with Gillian Osborne. Last month, Nightboat Books published Osborne's first essay collection, Green Green Green, which was excerpted in the July issue of Harper's. Osborne declares that the color green's “layering of possible meanings is uncanny,” then launches into a poetic history of the American lawn. As she testifies in her conversation, she is interested in the lawn's ability to evoke absence or emptiness—a quality she also finds in great short poetry. For Osborne, who seeks to make space for “responsive” rather than merely “responsible” reading, the experience of literature is always entwined with what writers and readers are not presently looking at—the vibrant vegetal world in which they sit.

On this month's episode of the WaterLog Podcast, hosts Howard Marlowe and Dan Ginolfi bring us the latest news and insight from the Nation's Capital.
On this episode, Howard Marlowe and Dan Ginolfi break down the latest developments in Federal coastal policy and politics. This month, they look at the details of the recent budget deal between Congress and the Whitehouse, discuss a new program in the Coastal Barrier Resources Act, and talk about the flooding in the Mid-West and the water levels of the Great Lakes. And, of course, its not a WaterLog podcast without a D.C. legislative update.
This month, Howard Marlowe and Dan Ginolfi provide an update on the appropriations process, bring us up to speed on funding and changes to the Nation Flood Insurance Program, an important Supreme Court decision regarding property takings, and a new study showing that increased funding for dredging has resulted in less sand being moved.
Derek Brockbank, host of Capitol Beach, joins forces with Dan Ginolfi and Howard Marlowe, co-hosts of the WaterLog Podcast, for a very special combo episode from Washington, D.C. The show dives deep into the grandest of coastal organizations, the U.S. Army Corps off Engineers, with a couple key figures in the Corps's Planning and Policy Branch: Eric Bush, Acting Director, and Joe Redican, Deputy Director, who both bring district experience to their roles in leading planning and policy nationwide. They explain what planning means at the Corps, how local coastal communities and stakeholders can work with Corps planners, and how best to tap into the agency's extensive technical expertise. They also discuss regional coastal resilience studies (happening or being planned for the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Great Lakes, Louisiana and Texas), and touch on STEM education starting as early as Pre-K (those summer interns really do get younger every year!) Don't miss this special "mash up" edition of the Capitol Beach & The Water Log podcast. Only on ASPN.
