2008 events
The Body
This event was held at the Wellcome Collection in May 2008 as part of the Meat of the Tongue series for new audiences. The poets drew on rich, often personal, material as they worked around body as metaphor, symbol, myth and fact. Journeying from the divine to disconnect they explored the relationship between the body and the mind, birth and death, and the power of culture in determining our relationship to it. The whole created an intimate revelatory and profoundly thought provoking evening.
