the first of Pen'rallt Gallery Bookshop's revived sociable book events, Thursday early evenings in the bookshop
Ness Owen launches her new volume of poetry ’Naming the Trees’
wine, fruit drinks, cheese
tickets £5
Sparked by the campaign to save the ancient forest of Penrhos from being turned into a holiday camp, ‘Naming the Trees’ celebrates the natural world, and considers (with some frustration) the various ways it is threatened by human intervention.
Ness has an ongoing conversation with her native language, and in this collection, she draws a link between the disregarding of native language and of native habitat.
Though predominantly written in English, 'Naming the Trees' includes several poems that are presented bilingually – in both English and Welsh.
Ness will be joined by local poets who also write about trees and language.
Price: £5.00. (includes refreshments)
Time: 6:30pm (doors 1/2 hour before start)
