About this event
'Home is a place that visits me' is a poetic narrative exploring home, childhood trauma and family through words and a series of monoprints that intimate naivity and distress. Created by artist, musician and poet Hannah 'Hunter' Hull a.k.a. Burning Salt.
Praise for 'Home is a place that visits me':
“A haunting, genre-defying piece of poetic brilliance.”
- Clare Shaw
“These harrowing poems are a clear-eyed reckoning.”
- Mark Waldron
