Walking & Talking Texts

Walking Talking Texts

This mobile reading and discussion group will consider works from women writers making sense of place, movement and public spaces. The group will take a circular walk from the library through historic streets and pocket oases in Canterbury, pausing to share short readings. On-the-go discussion of the texts will draw on the surroundings and encounters to help consider the everyday in different ways.

The walk will be followed by an ‘Inspired Creative Writing Workshop’, inspired by the texts and techniques discussed on the walk – please book separately for the workshop. See the Being Human Festival programme for details of both events.

These fanciful-sounding words have no definitive origin: They probably just sounded right to someone who was sauntering, which is what they both mean. An Oxford English Dictionary (OED) example from 1821 describes someone “soodling up and down the street.” Credits to Mark Peters.
