    Love Poems From Chapter One Bookshop
    Jan 27 2025

    Three poetry nerds who are a curator, a translator and a psychologist, discuss love poems in Chapter One Bookshop at Narberth Museum, West Wales.

    We chat about the dark side of love, whether love poetry needs to be romantic, and whether some love sentiments are best kept private. Featuring poems by Pablo Neruda, Tony Harrison and TS Eliot, this is an auditory hors d'oeuvre to a live love themed Book Bar at Chapter One.
