Hannah Mckelvey Green

I write about the intersection of labour, culture and the environment. My writing has appeared in Key Words: A Journal of Cultural MaterialismThe Cardiff Review, Tears in the Fence and The Radical Art Review. I write a monthly Substack called 'Field Notes', which you can read here. Amongst other freelance projects, I have worked with Ledbury Poetry Festival, most recently on their 'Poetry on Platforms' project, and interned at Tears in the Fence Magazine.

I am currently working on an English Literature PhD at the University of Bristol, with additional supervision from Aberystwyth University. Funded by the AHRC South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership, my project's working title is 'Georgic Literature in a Time of Environmental Crisis: 1940-present'.

I studied English Literature at the University of Bristol and completed an MA in Modern Literature and Culture at King's College London. In 2024 I won the Raymond Williams Society Simon Dentith Memorial Prize for my essay 'Mortgaged to the Grasping Soil: Land and Labour in the Poetry of R.S. Thomas'.

I am currently the English Literature and Environmental Humanities Editor at Question: A New Journal for the Humanities.
