Celebrating the publication of his most recent book, The Chain Coral Chorus, ArtsFest at the University of Wolverhampton invites you to this exciting event of poetry. In 2020, R. M. Francis became poet in residence for the Black Country Geological Society, writing works inspired by and set in the UNESCO Black Country Geopark.

His poems explore the region's spirit of place and place-identity through deep time and geological observation. At this event, Rob will share the poems and ideas that track this sublime and geopoetic vision.
