Judith’s readings will be free and unticketed – please drop in and enjoy.
In the first session Judith will be reading her poems dealing with complex issues of childhood, family and the profound and lasting effects of forced migration.
In the second session she’ll be reading her poems about relationships in all their strange, interesting and entertaining variety.
She may also include in the readings some of the poems she’s written in her role as Poet-in-Residence for Cuckmere Pilgrim Path.
