Join us for an evening of poetry inspired by peatlands, exploring the delicate fronds of human and ecological narratives emerging from the elusive landscapes of bogs. An outstanding line up of poets will draw us into the worlds of soggy flora, moorland myth, submerged lives and environmental drift.
Featuring Fiona Benson, Ella Duffy, John Wedgwood Clarke, Melanie Giles, Philippa Johnson, Richard Scott, and Clare Shaw.
‘Bog Talk’ is a RENEW project for the University of Exeter, in collaboration with Natural England and the South West Peatland Partnership, funded by Natural England through the Protected Sites Strategy.
