Career

Galleymore is a senior lecturer in creative writing at the University of Birmingham, UK. [2]

In 2022–23, she became the Walter Jackson Bate Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University, undertaking a project that explored the role of cuteness in environmental culture. [3]

Her work is frequently understood to be part of contemporary ecopoetics and nature writing. [4] [5] Writing on the topic of beauty, prettiness and wonder, Galleymore has asked "rather than cast them out of ecopoetic practice, could it be more productive to look deeply into them?". [6]

She has published two pamphlets of poetry: Dazzle Ship (Worple, 2014) and Cyanic Pollens (Guillemot, 2020). Her first collection of poems, Significant Other, was published by Carcanet in 2019. The book won the John Pollard Foundation International Poetry Prize in 2020. [7]
