About this Event

Poet Wendy Pratt lives on the North Yorkshire coast, a place that inspires her to write about nature as refuge, and landscape as connection – as we walk on the land our ancestors did.

She talks about her 2024 memoir The Ghost Lake, a powerful exploration of grief and belonging, was described as ‘remarkable’ (Observer), ‘deeply profound’ (The Times), and brave and luminous.

Her poetry collections include Blackbird Singing at Dusk and When I Think of My Body as a Horse.
