Can nature writing improve mental health?

Arji Manuelpillai, poet and rapper, hosts the Urban Tree Festival showcase of nature writing on Sunday 23 May, the final day of a nine-day celebration of nature in cities. Passionate about community arts and connecting people, Manuelpillai connects trees and people with writing to help nurture relationships, improve mental health and increase self-esteem. With financial support from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, the event features prizes and readings by the shortlisted authors. Arji Manuelpillai also appears in next week’s WritersMosaic, in a guest edition called ‘Borderliner’.
