New Northern Poets Take Wing

What happens when poets take wing? They create songs! Curated by Hannah Stone (poet, musician and experienced maker of work with composers) this event engages two recent New Northern Poets, Rachel Curzon and Laura Strickland, in discussion about words and music.

They'll chat about their involvement with the Leeds Song Book project, part of the international Leeds Song festival, and explore how writing for this type of collaboration is different to writing in response to other briefs, what prompted them to choose their Leeds subject for the song, and what other projects they are involved in.
