Sam Osbiston is a Practitioner of Wild Attention who seeks treasures within Soil and Soul. In collaboration with her wild garden, she finds sanctuary and listens to its whispers of wisdom, which she lovingly alchemises into visual poetry.

Her relationship with the more-than-human world has been dear to her since childhood, inspiring the deepening of her earth-rooted practices and the materials she creates and scribes with.

Her writing and photography have been published in both print and online. She has contributed to ‘Women of Spirit’, a collection of stories by women of adversity, published by Silverwood Press.

  • Sam's poetry is truly a reflection of her values, where she weaves nature and advocacy throughout her writing.

    Kirtsy Anne Richards, Editorial Director redrosethorns

  • Reading Sam’s poetry feels less like observing and more like participating in a shared memory, unlocking a forgotten part of oneself, while also speaking up for the little critters in the garden, as she takes one on a journey to reconnect to our natural world and to our true nature of the human experience. I always look forward to learning what she has to say, as Sam’s words inspire me to keep grounded within my own work.

  • Honestly, Sam’s writing is a testament to the power of words, which have the ability to heal and celebrate the beauty all around us.
