Jay Griffiths
Jay Griffiths is a passionate award-winning author and fierce advocate for nature’s remaining wild places. Her book Wild: An Elemental Journey is an evocation of the songlines of the earth, the result of long journeys among Indigenous cultures: including staying with Amazonian shamans and Inuit people, visiting sea gypsies and the freedom fighters of West Papua. Wild explores the words and meanings which shape ideas of wildness, arguing that wildness is intrinsic to the health of the human spirit. Her work has been influential in the birth of Extinction Rebellion Rewilding (XR RW), is quoted in K.T. Tunstall’s album Tiger Suit and has written for Radiohead’s newspaper ‘The Universal Sigh’. She has broadcast widely on BBC radio, written more than six critically acclaimed books and been extensively published: including in The Guardian, Orion Magazine and The Idler. She is an Oxford University graduate and occasionally teaches writing workshops. Her most recent book is Why Rebel, a Penguin Special
