Chill ashen skies, the paper-cut trees, the softening light; what can we bring you on a Winter day such as this? We can bring you...Poetry. Do join us Thursday December 12th at 2.30pm for a much anticipated visit by Poet Chris Kinsey with 'From Rowan Ridge'
'Chris Kinsey’s writing is part of her own rootedness in mid Wales, specifically the ‘three counties, two countries’ she views in ‘High Summer on a Shropshire Hill’. This poet delights in what she discovers around her, but is also attuned to her own past. Yet what she loves, even the very words for those things, is vanishing: I’m surprised by you showing up just as all my praise songs turn to elegies… I thoroughly recommend From Rowan Ridge, a celebration of a poet’s endless curiosity, yet a book with an inescapable bittersweet quality. Kinsey’s warnings are heartfelt, but are they too late…?'
