Please Note:Due to personal circumstances, Sarah Corbett is unfortunately unable to attend this reading. However, we&#x27;re pleased to welcome Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan.This live event will feature readings from three lyrical and imaginative poets, deeply connected to place and the natural world. Jane Clarke, Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan and Jodie Hollander are from three different countries but all explore landscapes and how they shape the people who live within them. Their work helps us to make sense of living in a perilous world in a state of constant change. In poetry that is remarkable for its energy, precision of language, and subtlety, they look at what it means to be lost and to find a way forward. Join us for an unforgettable and thought-provoking evening.BiosJane Clarke is the author of two poetry collections, The River and When the Tree Falls (Bloodaxe Books 2015 &amp; 2019), as well as an illustrated chapbook, All the Way Home, (Smith|Doorstop 2019).
