What happens when the places that made us possible begin to disappear?

In North-Northeast, a hedgehog returns to a route that no longer leads where it should. A badger digs through the loss of a tunnel and the world that once made it meaningful. A bee dances the coordinates of a field that has become housing. A chicken files a formal objection to synthetic protein. A dog, a crow, and a rat argue about freedom, dependence, and what it means to live inside a world designed by others.North-Northeast.docx

Together, their voices form a strange, lucid chorus: intimate, philosophical, unsparing, and unexpectedly tender. These linked monologues explore ecology, adaptation, agency, and extinction with a style that is both literary and speculative, mixing precision, wit, and grief.North-Northeast.docx

North-Northeast is a book about the grammar between creature and place, and about what remains when that grammar breaks. It is about routes remembered in the body, affordances lost to redevelopment, and the stubborn act of speaking from within a damaged world.
