Story Café Special: Poetry with Salome Benidze and Helen Mort

Rediscover the joy of being read to at our legendary lunchtime Story Café, as we immerse ourselves in tales of life, love and longing by the best women writers from across the globe.

Story Café Special: Poetry with Salome Benidze and Helen Mort, Thursday 17th May, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, £2/Free

Salome Benidze is a poet from Georgia. She has written two collections, as well as a best-selling novel.

Salome will share a brand-new chapbook of poems, I Wanted to Tell You, written in Georgian with English translations by the brilliant British poet Helen Mort (Division Street; No Map Could Show Them).

The two poets will talk about their work, exploring the weird and wonderful things that happen when you carry poems from one language to another. All welcome and no knowledge of Georgian required!

Presented in partnership with the Poetry Translation Centre
