Walking through the Unseen World, with Anthony Capildeo
Join award-winning poet Anthony V. Capildeo for this experiential poetry walk through Holyrood Park. In addition to reading their own poems and work by others, Anthony will be bringing copies of poems to share, and will invite you to address poems to the trees, the grass and the sky.
This promises to be a fun, thought-provoking exploration of how we connect with the more-than-human world around us, and how those connections spark our creativity and curiosity, thus informing the way we move through the world.
Meet by the gates at the entrance of Dynamic Earth at 2pm, or in the Pleasance Courtyard at 1:45pm, to walk down to the start of the walk together.
Supported by Book Week Scotland.
