Gathering In

Three poets, one final headline hour

Dobunni Poetry Festival closes with a shared hour of readings from Pascale Petit, Angela France and Pey Oh, chaired by Alycia Pirmohamed and Hannah Copley. Their work moves through myth, memory, ecology and the wild edges of human experience.

Petit brings Beast, her ninth collection and a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, while France is the poet and tutor behind Terminarchy. Pey Oh, a Bath-based poet from Malaysia, won the poetry category of the 2021 Sky Arts RSL Writers Awards.

The hour takes place at Holy Trinity Church, a Grade II listed Victorian church next to Stroud Hospital, with an accessible toilet and wider access available by arrangement. Parking at the church is limited.
