Simon Armitage: Dwell

Inspired by Cornwall’s Lost Gardens of Heligan – an ambitious restoration project which reawakened a landscape of woods and meadows to offer a fertile realm for all sorts of creatures – Dwell, by poet laureate Simon Armitage, is a beautifully illustrated collection about the importance of restoring nature’s balance. Join Armitage as he reflects with Nick Barley, director of the National Poetry Centre, on the fragility and power of nature, and what humans must do to repair and protect it.
