Bradford City Library

Sustainability Panel: The Present

We looked into what a poem can do that’s special, and how it can connect us with the natural world day to day.

We joined Kathleen Jamie and other guests as they explored what it means to write in these extraordinary times, when so much that we took for granted seems to be shifting.
