About
Like the poets of antiquity, Wordsworth turns to vocal groves as sites of commiseration and inspiration. The sounds of trees echo human experience, from the whispers of leaves to the groans of branches. Trees are associated with connection and communication in Wordsworth’s poetry and life, from the ‘dark sycamore’ that connects the poet’s memories to the present landscape in ‘Tintern Abbey’, to Wordsworth’s communion with his dead brother amidst the murmuring fir-grove. This Tree Talk will approach themes of connection and communication through trees, from Tree Alphabets and translations to treescapes communicated through film. For Wordsworth, as for us, trees offer solace and hope in troubling times.You will receive a Zoom registration link when you book a ticket.
