Kitchen Conversation: Hannah Stowe
Thu 8 Jun 2023 19:00 - 21:00
East Quay Kitchen, TA23 0AQ
Description
In conjunction with Seven Fables join us on World Oceans Day to celebrate Hannah Stowe's debut, Move Like Water, a heartfelt hymn to the sea and an unforgettable introduction to one of the most gifted nature writers of the new generation.
The seas cover over two thirds of our planet and yet most of us live our lives on land, creatures of a different element, at once fascinated and terrified by the beauty and power of these great bodies of water. There are some, though, who go to sea, who get to know its many moods - the tranquil and mirror-like, the raging and ripple-swept, and who bring back with them their stories of wonder and warning. Hannah Stowe is one such sea-goer and one such storyteller.
Drawing on her expertise as a marine biologist and sailor, and her experiences in the North Sea, the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the North Sea, the Celtic Sea, and the Caribbean, Move Like Water is an exploration of the human relationship with the sea, the powerful impression it has made on our culture, and the terrible damage we have inflicted upon its ecosystems.
Move Like Water will be available to pre-order from Seven Fables for collection on the night, and there will be an opportunity to have your copy personally dedicated and signed by Hannah. Copies will also available to purchase at the event.
Ticket price includes light meal, drinks available to purchase from the bar.
