Sustainability Panel: Future

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

Past event

This event has passed.

You joined some of our most powerful writers to find out whether 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?

This event featured Katrina Porteus.
