How the Bicycle Shone

Peter Forbes calls her “a quietly original poet who has followed an uncompromising path. In its inwardness, its emblematic use of nature and its intense spiritual quest, her poetry is in the line of Hopkins and Geoffrey Hill. Her tone and verbal music is quite her own.” The Guardian calls her “One of the finest and deepest of our living poets.” This reading is sure to be a treat. Exalted manna Discovering new literary delights is the aim of this session. You’ll be in the company of acclaimed poet Gillian Allnutt as she throws a thoughtful spotlight on heaven-sent authors that feed her inspiration.
