Join us on Sat 1st Nov when the F.W. Harvey Society annual event takes place at Minsterworth Village Hall on Saturday 1st November this year, from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm.
The event focuses on the influence of Minsterworth on Harvey’s writing. It showcases new research by Terry Moore-Scott published in the new society journal to be launched at the event.
A panel including Terry, Eleanor Rawling from the University of Oxford, Doug McLean the Forest publisher, and Cheryl Mayo (Burman) a popular local author will be looking at the impact of Minsterworth on Will Harvey and debating whether the blissful pastoral image of pre-war Severnside was real or imagined.
There will be talks by Doug McLean who published Will Harvey’s Collected Works and Selected Poems, and John Slater, artist in residence at Dean Heritage Centre.
The event opens with an especially commissioned film of Will Harvey’s Minsterworth, and will include some contemporary poetry from Forest poet Maggie Clutterbuck.
