On the 14th of December I had the joy of performing at the unveiling of the Sylvia Townsend Warner statue in Dorchester.
It felt quietly powerful to honour a writer whose work, politics, love, and intelligence still offer so much permission. Thank you to VisibleWomenUK and everyone who made this moment possible and so special.
Sylvia is the first non-royal female statue commemorated in Dorchester. She was a writer of extraordinary intelligence and range, a poet, novelist, and a woman who lived and loved without apology. Feels so special to have been a part of this day and see my favourite work of hers, Lolly Willowes, honoured in the statue ✨ 🌾
