SUMMARY:Poetry Evening
DESCRIPTION:A free poetry evening will be held on Thursday 19 March to mark the 160th anniversary of Victor Hugo’s novel The Toilers of the Sea, often described as the author’s ‘love letter to Guernsey’.\nHosted by the Victor Hugo Centre in the Hayward Room at the Guille-Alles Library, the evening will feature local students and other readers performing poetry inspired by the sea, Guernsey and Hugo’s legacy. The event takes place ahead of World Poetry Day and will include readings in French, English and Guernesiais.\nVictor Hugo wrote and published The Toilers of the Sea while living in Guernsey during his exile, dedicating the novel to the island and its people. Now, 160 years later, the work continues to inspire a new generation of artists and writers.\n“Guernsey was Hugo’s rock of hospitality and freedom, a place he dedicated The Toilers of the Sea to which has immortalised the island’s identity,” said Larry Malcic, chair of the Victor Hugo Centre. “Just as Guernsey inspired Hugo with his work, so we look to Hugo to inspire us.”\n
