About the event
How does climate change reshape our sense of home? Through reading and discussion, we’ll consider how poets engage with the politics of climate change through intimate, place-based perspectives. Participants will be led through guided writing exercises to reflect on personal landscapes, as well as loss, resilience and care in a changing world. No prior experience with poetry is necessary - just a willingness to read, reflect and write. Admission €25.
