A POET will be launching a book celebrating her year as Poet in Residence at Worcester Cathedral.
Amanda Bonnick's collection Solace in the Silence will be launched at a live event in the Undercroft at Worcester Cathedral on Tuesday, November 9.
It will feature a mix of poetry and prose written during her time as Poet in Residence at Worcester Cathedral.
She said: "The launch will take place in the magnificent and atmospheric Undercroft at the Cathedral, with ten actors voicing the two main series of poems in the book.
"I cannot wait to experience this event and would love to share it with you."
Her unusual, uplifting and imaginative collection of sixty poems, in a diary covering mid-2019 to Easter 2021, is the outcome of her period as Poet in Residence at Worcester Cathedral.
It is a highly personal reflection on her experiences during that time.
The poems cover her profound faith, her interviews with the groups making up the Cathedral community and her love for the building itself which she describes as "a place of solace and refuge and beauty".
The doors will open for sales at 6.30pm with the event starting at 7pm.
