A event held at Bookhaus on Friday 28th November. The event starts at 18:00.
We are delighted to be hosting live poetry from Taylor Strickland and JLM Morton.
Taylor will be reading from his new collection Dwell TIme. Dwell Time, the full-length debut collection from award-winning poet Taylor Strickland, begins from the idea that ‘dwelling’ requires both place and the experience of ‘being-in-the-world’. In taking us from the US to Scotland to Portugal, Strickland interrogates this central notion, along with ideas of non-place and environment, to explore our contemporary experience of love, language, technology, and spirituality. Ultimately these are poems that advocate for a world against isolation, one in which we go beyond our own witness to embrace another’s, and shrink the distance between us.
JLM Morton will be reading from her award winning body of work. She is a writer, poet, editor, celebrant and teacher based near Stroud in Gloucestershire, England. Her work explores contemporary rural experience and belonging, ancestry, place and practices of care, repair and solidarity across human and more-than-human worlds.
Tickets cost £7 and include a glass of wine or a soft drink. Presented by bookhaus
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
