Description
Join Arvon and the Hollick Family Charitable Trust on Friday November 25th, 7pm- 9pm for an informal and friendly evening celebrating Trini poetry, mentoring relationships and creative partnerships.
Trini Mythology, Landscape and Womanhood is a free poetry event introducing the work of Danielle Boodoo-Fortuné, winner of the 2015 Hollick Arvon Caribbean Writers Prize. You will listen to selected poems from Danielle’s newly completed collection 'Doe Songs',and discuss some of its central themes, from femininity and motherhood, to local mythology, the forest and the spirits of nature. In conversation with internationally praised poet Pascale Petit, we will also explore the meaning and benefits of creative mentoring relationships. This will be followed by a Q&A.
