Creative writing and the Planet

About us

Please join Plymouth Laureate of Words Dr Rosemarie Corlett, accompanied by special guests, for a talk and reading about creative writing and the climate emergency.

The evening will delve into creative writing, nature and animals, with a mixture of nature writing readings and reflections on the climate crisis.

We'll explore how we write through emergency; if and how creative writing can help deepen our understanding and open our hearts to the climate crisis; whether creative writing can expand knowledge, generate emotional investment and connect with the impact of species decline, with a view to engendering interest and acts of biodiversity conservation and renewal.

Rosemarie will read from her collection, Flightless Bird, as well as sharing some new poems, and will reflect upon species extinction, how we negotiate loss, and how we write about and through animals.

If you require wheelchair access, please email us at info@plymouthathenaeum.co.uk
