What role does place play in human stories? And how can our emotional response to wild landscapes deepen our lives and those of the other beings which share our planet?

From caves and rivers, to moors and marshes, join writers whose work is deeply rooted in British locations for readings and a conversation about our relationship with the landscapes that surround us.

Sean Borodale works as a poet and artist, making scriptive and documentary poems on location. His first collection of poetry, Bee Journal, was shortlisted for the T S Eliot Prize. Asylum, for Penguin Books, was written inside caves in the Mendip Hills; his latest, Inmates, is about the relationship between humans and insects.

Fiona Williams is a novelist based in Devon. Her first novel, The House of Broken Bricks, set in the Somerset levels, was winner of the 2021 Bridport Prize and the Peggy Chapman-Andrews First Novel Award.

Sophie Pierce is a writer based in Devon. Her latest book, Rock Idols, is an exploration of Dartmoor?s ancient tors; she is also author of The Green Hill: Letters to a son, a memoir about love, loss and the Devon landscape.
