Sustainability Panel: Future

How do we want to live with nature in the future - and can a poem help us to get there?

Event Details
Date 21 Sep 2025
Times 12:30pm-1:30pm
Location Bradford City Library

Join some of our most powerful writers to find out if other storytellers, including radio producers, can learn from poetry in this time of change. Can metaphors help us leap towards new ideas? Can images, and the rhythms of poetry help us move forward?
