Silence Speaks: Christina Thatcher and Alice Willitts

In Cambridge tonight: A conversation-led poetry reading on the intersections of body and nature, resilience and adaptation...

Join poets Christina Thatcher and Alice Willitts (plus special guests) for a conversation-led reading, where they dig into the intersections of body and nature. In these one-off events, Thatcher and Willitts share intimate reflections on resilience and adaptation— inviting us to reflect on what breaks us and what ultimately makes us stronger. A spirit of curiosity will enliven the event, with questions from the audience welcome.
In her collection Kiss My Earth, Alice Willitts grapples with the powerful forces of climate breakdown, menopausal energy, and eco-spirituality, offering a bold feminist voice that speaks to our fractured world. Meanwhile, Christina Thatcher’s Breaking a Mare delves into farm life, rodeo riding, and women’s work, uncovering the tensions between rural landscapes and ecological awareness.
