Water, Words, Wildness & Womanhood An evening with Sophie Pavelle & Sophie Dumont

About

Join us for a warm, watery and wild evening of conversation, readings and reflection, as two writers come together to explore the currents that connect their work.

Across prose and poetry, Sophie Pavelle and Sophie Dumont navigate landscapes both starkly familiar and quietly overlooked, tracing the relationships between bodies of water, bodies of knowledge, and the lived experience of womanhood. From nature's hidden relationships to the intimate pull of rivers and coastlines, their writing moves through themes of symbiosis, conservation, memory and wildness.

Through a conversation peppered with readings, the two Sophies will explore how language becomes a kind of ecology: a way of noticing, holding, and reimagining the natural world and our place within it, with reflections on climate, craft, and connection, as science writing meets poetry.

There will be time for audience questions, followed by a book signing.
