Host Carole Bromley is joined by our four festival poets – Kate Wakeling, Maria Ferguson, Emma Conally-Barklem, and Monika Radojevic – to discuss their writing and influences.
It’s also a chance to hear their work, with poetry for children and adults spanning themes of childhood, memoir, and motherhood.
This event is part of our 2024 Brontë Festival of Women’s Writing.
This event will be livestreamed and recorded for our digital festival attendees.
