About This Event

Author of The Ghost Lake (The Borough Press, 2024) and Blackbird Singing at Dusk (Nine Arches, 2024), Wendy Pratt joins us in conversation to reflect on the environment as stimuli for personal and creative research. Pratt’s work explores themes of landscape and belonging and both publications sit in intertextual discourse with each other, challenging ideas of identity, womanhood and inheritance in relation to the environments we occupy.
