TOUCHING THE WILD - POEMS ON THE THEME

Pam Newham’s poems are inspired by her time in the bushveld, exploring the connections that exist between us and creatures in the Wild.

Andrew Renard’s reading will be a mix of e e cummings wildly unconventional poems, thematically linked to his own work.

Layla Staegemann’s writing hopes to draw attention to the layers of living which people need to fall in love with and feel safe in before they can truly reach out and touch the heart of the wild.

Anton Krueger will read a poem about his grandmothers' escape from East Germany to a backing track of (mostly) original music.

Poets: Pam Newham, Andrew Renard, Layla Staegemann, Anton Krueger
