WBTW Presents: Scorpio Szn

Join Ella Sadie Guthrie for a live rendition of her collection 'Scorpio Szn' released with Write Bloody in 2023. 

Named Scorpio SZN after the intense reputation Scorpios have garnered for being deep lovers with a penchant for revenge, in this book Guthrie explores the relationships that have shaped her through visceral metaphor and sometimes slightly unsettling imagery (with no mention of Pete Davidson in sight). What starts as a collection of poems about falling in love and the aftermath of it, quickly turns into an examination of how the past can make us who we are and how to overcome it. Get ready for heartbreaking declarations of love and surreal, out-of-this-world imagery grounded in the concrete memory of a Nike sports dress or the door of an IKEA flat-pack wardrobe. Playful yet raw, Scorpio SZN is the antidote for anyone who's ever felt bruised by love.

The evening will also feature readings from some of Words By The Water's favourite poets including Mitchell Robinson and Georgina Langford. 

Legendary illustrator Chris Riddell will also be bringing his unique brand of live sketching to the show.
