Event details

Writers at York event

Dr Alycia Pirmohamed is a Canadian-born poet based in Scotland. She is the author of Another Way to Split Water, as well as the pamphlets Hinge and Faces that Fled the Wind, and the collaborative essay Second Memory, which was co-authored with Pratyusha. Her latest book is an edited collection of nature writing by women and nonbinary writers of colour titled Our Time is a Garden

Join us for a one-off Q&A with Alycia in which we think about ‘What … it means to belong somewhere or to something’, ‘the consequences of being decentred, perceived as unfamiliar or as a stranger to place’, and the slippages between ecopoetry and nature writing.
