Join three local poets – Rosie Garland, Suzannah Evans, and Amanda Dalton – for a poetry evening to celebrate Rosie’s latest collection, This Is How I Fight.
How do we maintain connection in times of disruption? In her new collection This Is How I Fight, Rosie Garland interrogates gods, beasts and monsters, but not to hammer down simplistic answers. Through a queer perspective, poems shift between human and other, exploring where we might find the courage needed to forge a way through the world, one word in front of the other, proposing kindness as a radical act.
