Entomology with Helen Clare
Thurs 11 Dec, 6-8pm. Ex-science teacher, ex-literature development worker, ex-Arts Council Education Officer, Helen Clare has been professionally involved in just about anything that involves creative writing, science and learning. She is also, of course, a poet. From the Assassin Bug to the Tear-Drinking Moth, from the Solitary Bee to the Common Wasp, in these sonnets the precision of science uncovers a drama of loss and despair, new love and unstoppable desire. ‘Entomology’ is her new set of poems inspired by visits to Manchester Museum.
Join us for a festive evening with readings by Helen Clare and a chance to see some of the insect specimens from the Manchester Museum shown by our entomology expert, Dr Dmitri Logonov.
