About this Event
Rooted in fieldwork and close observation, Linda France’s award-winning work looks at the natural world with a sense of appreciation and deep interconnectedness from her vantage point in rural Northumberland. Linda’s poems offer ‘a radiant vision into the mysteries of deep time and the dizzying minutiae of the present moment’ (Nancy Campbell).
Join us to hear Linda read a selection of her published work (most recently, Startling and The Knucklebone Floor) and some new poems.
Light refreshments provided.
Part of the Tuesdays @ 'The Hancock' series.
Join us on the first Tuesday of the month for talks exploring the stories behind natural history.
