Bradford City Library

Peregrinations: Urban Nature Poetry Walk

Antony Dunn

We explored the heart of Bradford from an unusual new perspective, meandering along an urban nature walk with poet Antony Dunn.

Past event

This event has passed.

Through a series of reading, writing and conversation games, we create new poems with a bird's-eye view to celebrate the city's unique place in the country and the wider world.

Antony Dunn has published four collections of poetry, most recently Take This One to Bed (Valley Press). He is a regular tutor for The Poetry School and has been Poet in Residence for Ilkley Literature Festival, the University of York and the People Powered Press.
