Seedlings 5 (V) Queer As Nature

Seedlings: V, QUEER AS NATURE. Our handmade magazine explores the intersection of nature and queerness with poetry, essays and art. Our magazine testifies that queerness is natural, offering a selection of letterpress printed poems, paintings, photography, and more. Other highlights include an essay about the anarchic, queer sex habits of earthworms by Michael Huldt and a very moving poem responding to the Supreme Court decision that slashed trans rights in April by Erin Gilbey. Among the artworks are queer weeds by Helen Cook and a print collaboration with Olivia Laing based on their book The Garden Against Time, with drawings by Alice Barker, designed by our editor Coran Green.

The magazines are printed with a mix of letterpress, risograph and high quality digital prints and then handbound by our volunteers.

Seedlings V: Queer as Nature is printed by Seedlings in London in July 2025, in a mix of letterpress, risograph and digital methods, and saddle-stitch bound.

Text and art printed on paper from G.F. Smith, Hahnemuhle and John Purcell. Cover and illustration designs by Corran Green.
