About this Event
Don't miss your chance to meet the inaugural National Poet of Wales, Gwyneth Lewis, as she talks about her new memoir, Nightshade Mother.
In this extraordinary memoir, Gwyneth Lewis recounts her toxic upbringing at the hands of her controlling, coercive mother. It is a book that Gwyneth has been preparing to write all her life, in diaries that she’s kept since childhood. In these journals, she interrogates the emotionally abusive mother/daughter relationship, in great pain but determined to find a way through.
It is a profoundly moving and beautiful work; questing, forgiving and loving in its approach.
Gwyneth will be in conversation with author and literary critic M. Wynn Thomas.
