22.11.2025: Push the Boat Out, Edinburgh
Finding Meaning, Seeking Consolation
Panel discussion 4-5pm Upper Hall at the Pleasance
With Isabelle Baafi, Rosie Garland & Janette Ayachi
This year’s festival theme, The Unseen World, explores how and where we find meaning and solace in an increasingly challenging world. We’re asking how we predict the future, make sense of the moment and understand the past, through practices and beliefs around fortune-telling, spiritualism, life after death, religion and worlds beyond our own. Join poets Isabelle Baafi, Rosie Garland and Janette Ayachi, chaired by Alice Tarbuck, to discuss how poetry can help us to ask where we might find the courage to forge our way through the world.
This event will be livestreamed.
