Pele's Poetry Series: Rachel Spence, Meditations on "Medea's Song"
March 13, 2025 @ 7:30 PM
Rachel Spence, Meditations on ‘Medea’s Song’, Mothers and The Battle for the Museum
Spence, FT arts writer and poet, will discuss and read from new works. Her meditations on motherhood and the myths surrounding it are central to her life in Ludlow. ‘Daughter of the Sun,’ a collection of elegies composed to her mother, while she swam in the River Teme. She will explore how poetry and protest, like a river, offers a space of solace and transformation allowing us to make our own myths, and discover truth, happiness and freedom in places that we may never have imagined. Her recent book ‘Battle for the Museum’ about the crisis in the arts has been selected for the FT books of the year.
