Go, in the name of the Devil, Go!
Verb Gala Night: Flight

 
 

“Standing there on the embankment, staring into the current, I realized that—in spite of all the risks involved—a thing in motion will always be better than a thing at rest; that change will always be a nobler thing than permanence; that that which is static will degenerate and decay, turn to ash, while that which is in motion is able to last for all eternity.”

― Olga Tokarczuk, Flights

In a celebration of this year’s festival theme of ‘coven’ join an exceptional gathering of writers to explore the theme of flight. 

With writers Becky Manawatu, Talia Marshall, Clare Moleta, Meg Mason (digitally), Sue Orr, Lynn Davidson, Sam George-Allen (digitally), Rebecca Támas (digitally), Trish Harris and Shilo Kino. Hosted by Megan Whelan.
