Start time: 18:00 Join Adam Nicolson and Tom Hammick for a talk on poetry, printmaking and place. Join writer Adam Nicolson and artist Tom Hammick in conversation with Pallant House Gallery Chief Curator Melanie Vandenbrouck, to celebrate Hammick’s print series on view in the Print Room at Pallant House Gallery (14 August – 25 October). Adam and Tom will reflect on a remarkable creative journey: a shared return to the revolutionary year of 1797–98, when William Wordsworth, Dorothy Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived and worked in the Quantock Hills. That intense period gave rise to poems including Lyrical Ballads, The Ancient Mariner and Tintern Abbey - works that reshaped the English imagination. Following the poets’ letters and journals day by day, Nicolson retraced their paths, walking the same hills at dawn and dusk, immersing himself in the same shifting light, weather and darkness. Alongside him, Hammick created a series of powerful woodcuts, ‘suspended between the actual and the imagined’, as visual accompaniments to Nicolson’s book The Making of Poetry (2019).
