Hy fynt it sublym yn gewoane dingen en hat in grutte driuw om minsken yn syn mienskip te ynspirearjen om de minsklikheid leaf te hawwen en echte ferbining djip te wurdearjen. Po\u00ebzy skriuwe is faak in passend ynstrumint om dat te dwaan. Hy is watsto miskien in \u2018klassike dichter\u2019 neame kinst, dy&#8217;t op in bepaalde wize it liter\u00eare kanon heech h\u00e2ldt, mar hy set him yn syn wurk ek yn om dat kanon tagonkliker en ynklusiver te meitsjen. D\u00earom is er \u00fateinset mei <em>Preston\u2019s Poetry Podcast<\/em>, dy&#8217;t it l\u00eazen en skriuwen fan po\u00ebzy mear tagonklik makket. <br><br>Preston hat ek in passy om oare snobistyske dingen minder snobistysk, tagonklik en leuker te meitsjen \u2014 fan typmasines oant klassike muzyk, fan it neamen fan ferstoarne filosofen oant it (feilich) stekken fan syn freonen op de flechtpiste.Losack makke syn ferrassende deb\u00fat troch yn maart 2021 by in dichtersgearkomste in protestgedicht op in servet foar te dragen. D\u00earnei publisearre er syn sonnet <strong>&#8220;To Dry Feet&#8221;<\/strong> yn <em>LETTER<\/em> (UNESCO LCoL). Nei twa Dichter fan Diktiel\u00e2n-residinsjes yn 2023, organisearre troch Wintertuin en Explore the North, brocht er syn kultuerferbinend wurk fierder nei poadia yn hiel Nederl\u00e2n. Dy residinsjes joegen ynspiraasje foar de meartalige, multymediale foarstelling <em>500 jier op \u2018e seeboaiem<\/em>, tegearre mei multytalinten <strong>Merlijn Huntjens<\/strong> en <strong>Heleen van Maldegem<\/strong>.Syn po\u00ebzy is ferskynd yn ferskate kranten en tydskriften, lykas <em>De Moanne<\/em> en <em>Leeuwarder Courant<\/em>. Hy hat ek oersettings publisearre fan skriuwers lykas <strong>Stef Bos<\/strong>, <strong>Sytse Jansma<\/strong>, <strong>Laura Gilpin<\/strong>, <strong>Arjan Hut<\/strong>, en <strong>Marrit Jellema<\/strong>.Op it stuit skriuwt hy in boeklang Epysk gedicht oer dichter wurden, oer in \u2018Global Texaan\u2019 w\u00eaze, en oer it oerlibjen fan swierte, iensumens en misbr\u00fbk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Projecten<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-project-carousel block-project-carousel__maker\">    <div class=\"swiper-container\">\n      <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\"><div class=\"swiper-slide project-slide\">\n  <figure class=\"image\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.nl\/fy\/project\/merlijn-huntjens-preston-losack-heleen-van-maldegem-500-years-op-de-zeebodem\/\" title=\"Merlijn Huntjens, Preston Losack &amp; Heleen van Maldegem -
