Andrew Forster will discuss with Dr David Borthwick his recent collection Territory in the context of the contemporary resurgence in poetic responses to the environment. Andrew and David will consider how one comes to be ‘at home’ in a landscape, from dwelling to engagement with a place’s history, animal encounters to weather events. Along the way, they will talk about writing by a range of contemporary poets, John Burnside to Alice Oswald, Kathleen Jamie to Don McKay.
Monday 20 September, Room 232 Rutherford McCowan Building, The Crichton, Dumfries. Admission £5 for members of the public, £3 for students.
And then get down to Poetry Doubles with Andrew Forster and Katy Ewing at the Brigend Theatre at 7pm - look forward to seeing you there!
