Free evening of poetry and conversation with poet Kathrine Sowerby and the Death Café facilitator to explore how to remember those we have lost, part of To Absent Friends Week.
Kathrine Sowerby is at The Mitchell Library on Tuesday 3 November, for an evening of poetry and conversation. It's part of To Absent Friends Week at Glasgow Libraries, a week dedicated to remembering those who have died.
Sowerby, a poet and writer, sits down with the facilitator of the city's monthly Death Café to talk about how poetry and stories can help us remember people we've lost, celebrate their lives and keep their memories alive. It's a conversation around grief and memory, and the room is open to everyone. Attendees are invited to share a poem, memory or thought of their own, so it's as much about the people in the room as it is about the two on stage.
If you're not familiar, the Death Café is a regular Glasgow fixture where people gather to talk about death and dying in a relaxed, open setting. Bringing that energy into the library for this session fits the whole week's focus on remembering those who've gone. Sowerby's work often touches on these kinds of themes, and having the facilitator there keeps the conversation grounded in the practical, human side of loss.
