Poems at the Palace

 

 

Poems at the Palace: A personal journey into spirituality through the eyes of the poets.

Poems at the Palace is a project initiated five years ago, as a way of exploring spirituality through poetry, and still enjoying great success. There are four evenings each spring, when contributors are asked to select and present the work of a favourite poet, and to say something about their response to it. The venue for the event is Bishopthorpe Palace, and the approach is informal, with wine served both at the beginning of the evening and at a halfway point. Each session is chaired by the Provost of Langwith College of York University. The audience is encouraged to interact with the contributors, and the level of presentation and discussion has been consistently high.
