A book event for 'Such Fragile Futures: An Artist and a Poet Reflect in a Garden'
About this Event

You are cordially invited to a panel discussion and readings from 'Such Fragile Futures: An Artist and a Poet Reflect in a Garden’, followed by a drinks reception hosted by the Scottish Network for Religion and Literature.

This beautiful and reflective book records poet Christine De Luca's collaboration with the artist Brigid Collins, based on her year as Artist in Residence in Dr Neil's Garden in Duddingston, Edinburgh. Together, De Luca and Collins look deeply into how a garden may feed a vital and growing sensitivity towards our fragile futures.

This event, hosted by the Scottish Network for Religion and Literature, will also launch a new companion booklet of meditations by Dr Kitty Wheater.

Tickets are free, but please reserve yours to ensure you can be admitted. There will be a waiting list if the event becomes sold out.
