He will be reading poems from his recent collections with Shoestring Press\, Journey into Space\, and Running Ou t of Time.\n\nChristopher Somerville\, writing in The Times\, summed up hi s poetry thus: “Street unearths loss\, memory and redemption from Engli sh terrain like few other poets.”\n\nProse includes works on Gerard Manl ey Hopkins and the Dymock Poets\, as well as several studies of sound poet ics\, the latest of which\, Wild Track: Sound\, Text and the Idea of Bird song was published by Bloomsbury in a new paperback edition in May 2025. The book was a finalist in the Environmental Science Prose Awards\, 2024.\ n\nPrevious prose on sound includes The Poetry of Radio (2013)\, The Me mory of Sound (2015) and The Sound of a Room (2020) published by Routle dge. He has also written a trilogy of books on sound aesthetics for Palgra ve (2017-19).\n\nHe has worked in radio for more than 50 years and is emer itus professor at Bournemouth University.\n\nOf his poetry George Szirtes has written:\n\n‘Seán Street is a poet who well understands both the po wer and the ephemerality of the spoken word\, and how “while it would be always unforgettable / it would be forever unrecoverable”. That is the narrow ledge of perception that not just we humans\, but the natural world itself is perched on. His recent work condenses a lifetime of celebratory and acute listening. It is that which gives his quiet yet clear voice its bindingly melancholy yet joyful power.’\n\nFor further information abou t Seán Street: http://www.seanstreet.com/\n\nFor further information abo ut this event: liverpoolpoetryspace@gmail.com OR @liverpool__poetryspac e on Instagram\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2025/10/EVENING-WITH-SEAN-STREET.jpg LOCATION:Quakers Meeting House\, School Lane\, Liverpool\, L1 3BT\, Liverpo ol\, United Kingdom GEO:53.404542;-2.984173 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=School Lane\, Liverpool\, L 1 3BT\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Quakers Meet ing House:geo:53.404542,-2.984173 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251026T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
