Event Description

Join us for an afternoon of profound literary and musical exploration as the award-winning poet Raymond Antrobus discusses his latest collection, Signs, Music, in conversation with acclaimed poet Kate Wakeling.

His work challenges readers to listen beyond the surface, uncovering the rhythms that connect us all.

Kate Wakeling, an award-winning poet known for her insightful and lyrical approach to both adult and children's poetry, will lead the conversation, guiding the audience through the intricate layers of Antrobus’s work. Together, they will explore the themes of sound, identity, and the power of poetry as a form of communication that transcends traditional boundaries.

Expect an evening of thoughtful discussion, where words and music intertwine, and where the essence of sound in poetry is celebrated in its most resonant forms.
