Katie Hale: 'The Edge of Solitude' Talk and Q&A | Bath Street Centre

Details

Author and poet Katie Hale will introduce her new novel, The Edge of Solitude, in conversation with Jenna Warren from Book Corner. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A. Set in Antarctica, the novel tells the story of Ivy: a disgraced environmental activist. Desperate to redeem her reputation, she joins a billionaire's ambitious Antarctic conservation scheme - but as the ship journeys further south, she struggles to tell who she can trust, and which relationships are worth trying to save. Katie won a Northern Debut Award for her poetry collection, White Ghosts, and is the author of two novels: The Edge of Solitude and My Name is Monster. She is a former MacDowell Fellow, and winner of the Palette Poetry Prize, Munster Chapbook Prize, and Aesthetica Creative Writing Prize. Her short fiction has been longlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award, and she has held Writer in Residence positions in numerous countries, including Australia, the US and Svalbard. Katie also mentors young writers through Writing Squad. You can find out more about Katie and her writing here. Copies of both of Katie's novels will be available to buy at the event.
