Join acclaimed poet Jane Clarke for a walk through TU Dublin’s Grangegorman campus based on her latest collection Coracle

Join acclaimed poet ****Jane Clarke**** for a walk through TU Dublin’s Grangegorman campus based on her latest collection**Coracle**(Bloodaxe Books), which explores what it means to care for each other and the natural world in the midst of social and environmental jeopardy. These finely observed, distilled and intimate poems reflect on our kinship with all living things, facing the reality of loss while celebrating acts of restoration that inspire hope. We will pause along the way for poetry and music, while also paying attention to the biodiversity being nurtured on the campus.

While this event is ****free****, by making one of your tickets a '****Supporter's Ticket****' you will be making a valuable contribution towards keeping future events accessible and towards the sustainable growth of Dublin Book Festival.
