Helen Mort’s poetry inhabits the physical and the emotional—climbing sheer rock faces, walking through city streets, confronting love, danger, and resilience. In this special reading, the acclaimed British poet shares work that explores the body, landscape, and the fractures and triumphs of everyday life. Her voice carries the intimacy of lived experience and the sharpness of lyric craft, opening a space where vulnerability and strength meet.
