Lavinia Greenlaw - The Vast Extent - On Seeing and Not Seeing Further

Lavinia Greenlaw is one of the country’s most celebrated poets, novelists and memoirists and The Vast Extent is a beautiful and ingenious consolidation of a thirty-year body of work. In a series of essays, she presents a record of how thought builds and ideas emerge – aligning art and scientific scrutiny and exploring subjects as broad as early photography, boredom, seasickness, wonder, mountains and mice. Lavinia will also read from her Selected Poems which have established her as one of the most perceptive and original poets of her generation.
