What better way to spend a summer evening than chilling out and enjoying a relaxed evening of prose and poetry celebrating the joys and challenges of nature, starting with the Oxford launch of Beartooth: Diary of a Nomadic Herder, by Pascal Wick, translated from French by Tinker Mather.
Pascal and Tinker will read extracts from Pascal’s extraordinary experience of herding 1,800 sheep for several months alone at the margins of the civilised world on Beartooth Mountain in the US. This will be followed by an open mic with local Oxford poets and the chance for YOU to read your own nature-related of poems and prose extracts. For more details on Beartooth see the website –
