Memory, Landscape & Imagination: Two Poets
Join us for a rich and immersive exploration of elemental imagery, foreboding, magic, history and humour.
Reading from their new collections, published by Bloodaxe, Cathy Galvin and Penelope Shuttle are both Cornwall based poets. They share a profound engagement with the ways the past speaks through the present — through memory, landscape and archive — as lived experience moves into the charged realm of the textured imagination. The evening will celebrate the interwoven connections between the two poets’ work; ways we change, grow and form our identities, and how the places we inhabit leave enduring impressions on who we become.
Cathy will read from her debut collection, Ethnology, and Penelope will read from History of the Child. The readings will be followed by a discussion of their work and creative practice, and an opportunity for audience questions.
This event is open to all – even if you’ve never read poetry in your life! It is sure to be a rich and engaging evening.
Doors will open at 6.30pm and the event will start at 7pm and finish at 9pm.
Our ticket prices:
- We offer a tiered system of pricing, so that there should always be a ticket price to suit all purses. We do not want there to be any barriers to you attending our events if you would like to come along. This is why we offer some free tickets for each of our events.
- Our Free tickets are there for you to book if you don’t have much spare money at the moment. We will never ask questions about this – we just ask for an honesty system, where these tickets are booked if you can’t afford a full price ticket but would love to join us.
- Our Standard tickets are an affordable option, designed to help us cover the cost of putting on these events (opening the building, staffing, speakers, any teas, coffees or food and so forth)
- Our higher-price You Support Us option gives you the price to pay a little more for your ticket, as a way of supporting the work of the Gardeners’ House. It allows us to cover the cost of the event AND to have some left over which we can put towards our work as a charity.
Please do give some thought to the ticket level which suits you best. We look forward to welcoming you to the Gardeners’ House.
