On Fatherhood, with Raymond Antrobus and Niall Campbell
Becoming a father is not an easy process: the sleepless nights and burden of new responsibilities can weigh heavily. But amidst the challenges, there’s an untold joy that comes with meeting your child and discovering a new kind of love that can reshape your world.
Raymond Antrobus and Niall Campbell have written extensively about fatherhood, love, and masculinity. Antrobus’s most recent collection, ‘Signs, Music,’ reflects on imminent fatherhood and stepping into this role, while Campbell’s collections ‘Noctuary’ and ‘The Island in the Sound’ are filled with the discoveries of what it is to become a father.
This event is chaired by poet and new father, Samuel Tongue.
This event will be BSL interpreted and live captioned.
