Author photos Jay Gao & Malgorzata Lebda

Two poets turn their singular attention to the human body’s relationship with nature. In Mer de Glace, Małgorzata Lebda runs the length of the longest river in Poland to attune her body to its rhythms; in Jay Gao’s The Dead One, trees become portals to a dream world of haunting and memory. Join Gao and Lebda to discuss the role poetry might play in re-sensitising us to the living world. Chaired by Samuel Tongue.
