Constellation of care
Where does poetry come from? And narrative fiction? Our guests at this round table will discuss the motivation behind their writings, and the presence of nature and landscape (forest, desert, sea) in their works. They will reflect, too, on the complexity of human relationships and nature, and how to care for them in this changing world.
With Moya Cannon, Sergio Missana and Jordi Soler. Moderator: Catherine Dunne
