Philip Gross is launching his new poetry collection as part of a fundraising event for Age Connects Cardiff and The Vale.
The event at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre aims to raise awareness and support for Age Connects, a charity that cares for local elderly people who are vulnerable or ill.
Care workers and poetry enthusiasts are invited to listen to the TS Elliot Prize winner Philip Gross read from his new collection Later which tenderly accounts the final year of his father’s life, who was cared for by Age Connects.
“We are thrilled that Philip thought to approach us about this poetry event,” said charity worker Karen Steele. “He thought so highly of our local charity and the support we gave his father in his final years.”
