Evie Prichard and Kit Griffiths
Times
Friday, 16 October 2026
18:00 – 19:00
In Conversation with Evie Prichard and Kit Griffiths
A poem is a chrysalis; a prayer; a howl into the darkness.
Join Evie Prichard, co-author of the upcoming 'The Poetry Pharmacy Book of Grief and Recovery' to discuss the power of the poem to heal and to transform. The conversation will span from the poetry of the mundane, to love, loss, and the human condition. Whatever you may feel, there’s a poem out there waiting to feel it with you.
Interview conducted by Kit Griffiths, Southbank Centre New Poets’ Collective alumnus and Poet-in-Residence of Margate Pride.
The conversation will be followed by a short reading.
