About the show
Acclaimed poet Kim Moore's new collection 'The House of Broken Things' is an astonishing portrait of a mother. Her body as tender, contested territory. Her instincts fierce. Her mind alive with memories of her own childhood, marvelled by love for her young daughter, sharpened with foreboding for her safety in a broken world that has so often made to break her, too. This is a thrilling new work from one of our boldest and most exciting poets.
In this festival event, Kim presents a reading from the book, followed by an audience Q&A.
