Striking a balance between playful curiosity of form and a meditative calm in tenor, the poems in these collections invite readers and listeners to find gratitude in all the world has to offer. Whether we find ourselves shattered by brutality or revelling in optimism, there is much to learn in the act of attending. As the poems dance across the pages, we cannot help but join in the choreography and be surprised by how familiar the steps are. Q&A and signing to follow both readings.
