Fieldworks with John Glenday at Hospitalfield

We have invited Carnoustie-based poet John Glenday to Hospitalfield, to return to the metaphor and premise of grain that he originally approached in his 2009 Picador poetry collection.

In this reading and discussion, John Glenday will share a selection of his poems related to the imagery of the natural world, and will talk about its significance in his poetry; how it allows him to map the spiritual hinterland of the world we live in, but also to address wider environmental and social concerns.

Weather permitting, the reading will be held in the stunning grounds of Hospitalfield House, where words, music and gardens meet.
