Braided Poetry: reading and workshop

10.00am – 11.30am (GMT) | Zoom | £5.00*

Witness the world premiere of a new braided text co-written by poet Rebecca Sharp and environmental humanities researcher and author Monika Szuba, weaving together observations and encounters with landscape, seasons and other beings between Scotland and Germany/Poland. Structured as a series of emails containing strands of text, images, and field recordings, this innovative work entwines the authors’ evolving perspectives on nature, art, and the imagination. The performance will be followed by a special workshop with Elodie Laügt.

Rebecca Sharp, is a poet, playwright, interdisciplinary artist and the Artist in Residence for St Andrews’ Centre for Energy Ethics. Her collection Long Field Loop is forthcoming from Tapsalteerie. Monika Szuba, is a researcher and translator, and the Landhaus Fellow for the Rachel Carson Centre for Environment and Society in Munich. Her most recent book is Landscape Poetics: Scottish Textual Practice, 1928-Present (EUP).

In partnership with the Centre for Poetic Innovation at the University of St Andrews.
