Richard Holloway with Alison Watt: This One’s From the Heart
Book Festival regulars need no introduction to Richard Holloway: he has spoken at the Festival every August for the past 23 years. He joins us this time to discuss The Heart of Things – a collection of his favourite poems and quotations, knitted together with Holloway’s own tender and sometimes vulnerable musings. Today he talks about life, inspiration and mortality with his friend, the celebrated artist Alison Watt.
