Conversations with Silence, 6 November, 2025

Thursday 6th November, 5.30-7pm
Quaker Centre, Euston Road, London
Across 40 years of writing life, Philip Gross’ poems have been listening to many kinds of silence – never more so than in his latest book, The Shores of Vaikus, which inhabits the resonant forests and islands of Estonia.
Hear Philip read and talk about this ongoing exploration, looking back and looking forward, in conversation with Joe Jones, editor of The Friend, with space for your own questions and discussion at the end.
