Join us as we celebrate a year since the publication of landmark essay collection Gathering: Women of Colour on Nature (editors: Durre Shahwar and Nasia Sarwar-Skuse). As well as readings from the book and discussion with co-editor Durre Shahwar and contributor Hanan Issa, National Poet of Wales, there will be an open mic on the theme of connections with nature and landscape.

Durre and Hanan are also co-founders of Where I’m Coming From open mic collective that seeks to platform underrepresented voices from Wales. Bring your poems, flash fiction, essays and reflections (5 min max) to share with our audience. All are welcome. Tickets are free: tinyurl.com/yrcxyc5e

Books will be available to purchase – cash only.
