John Burnside

"The natural world and environment issues are at the heart of John Burnside's poetry and George Monbiot's writing. John Burnside's tender, lyrical imagination uses the Scottish rural landscape as a backdrop for metaphysical exploration. Following readings of their work, Fiona Sampson, Editor of Poetry Review, chairs a discussion on the subject of poetry and climate change."
