Join us for an evening of poetry inspired by peatlands, exploring the delicate fronds of human and ecological narratives emerging from the elusive landscapes of bogs. An outstanding line up of poets will draw us into the worlds of soggy flora, moorland myth, submerged lives and environmental drift.
Featuring: Fiona Benson, Melanie Giles, Philippa Johnson, Richard Scott, Clare Shaw, Ben Smith, and John Wedgwood Clarke.
