Weather, Words, and the Body

A discussion featuring authors Jean McNeil, Polly Atkin, JR Carpenter and Amanda Thomson, chaired by Jessica J. Lee.

From far-distant Antarctic cold to the water of the Lake District, this panel will offer short readings and intimate conversations to spotlight literary women’s embodied experiences of weather and sensation through the written word; exploring the ways perceptions of weather can be both deeply personal and felt in the wider world.
