An event in the company of Adrian and friends celebrating the incredible power of poetry to resist our challenging times, and mark Earth Day.

Poetry has long been a vital tool for pushing back against the noise of modern life – and in this remarkable new collection, Adrian GR Scott gathers three years of poems that do exactly that. Drawing on C. G. Jung and the rich world of dreams, he writes about growing up, family, faith, friendship (including the four-legged kind) and the moments that change a life. From an American road trip with his son, through Lakota wisdom and the troubled legacy of the West, to long-loved Cumbrian fells and the ghost of Dylan Thomas in Laugharne, Scott seeks wilder ways of seeing that resist “the hum-drumming, news-cycled, recycled, same as it ever was, broadcast world”. At the book’s core are poems that stiffen the sinews of resistance: against authoritarianism and war, against the corrosion of the Welfare State and its “five giant evils” of ignorance, want, idleness, disease and squalor.
Finally, in dialogue with Russian resistance poets Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova, and facing the realities of mortality, Scott offers a humane, hard-won hope.

Join Adrian and bolster your inner resistance to our times, and explore how poetry can help us live our one wild and precious life. To find the way that resistance can change the world around us. Appropriately, this is also Earth Day.
Your ticket purchase entitles you to a £10 discount on one copy of the book.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”25″ down=”0″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”40″ down=”0″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”40″ down=”0″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”center” video=”” background_color=”#e8e8e8″ css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no” oblique_section=”no” oblique_section_top_and_bottom=”both” oblique_section_position=”from_left_to_right” triangle_shape=”no” triangle_shape_position=”both”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1599226356457{margin-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599390352639{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]
