More Song
Tom Branfoot’s debut poetry collection explores nature during a time of political crisis, drawing its title from the Middle English use of ‘volatile’ to name birds and other winged creatures. Featuring the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem shortlisted “A Parliament of Jets”, these complex, formally daring poems are concerned with the entanglements between personhood, global catastrophes, and ecosystems.
Books will be available to purchase on the evening courtesy of Jot Bookshop.
Free entry.
