This reading will be a sharing haiku from an ongoing body of work centred on the River Usk. The poems approach the river as a living, changing presence shaped by time, seasons and human traces. The session will focus primarily on a reading of the poems, with reflections on haiku as a practice of connection with the more-than-human world.

This event is part of the Newport Festival of Words (20th – 22nd March) and is free of charge with support through a SPF grant, funded by the UK Government. Any additional donations received help to ensure that the Newport Festival of Words returns in 2027.
