Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Connor Boyle. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with the poet, musician, author and playwright Kay Tempest. Tempest is widely regarded as one of Britain's greatest wordsmiths, and he joined us live on stage at St. George's in Bristol to discuss the

the themes of his highly anticipated return to fiction, having spent life seeking.

Tempest is joined on stage by writer and poet Danielle Wilde. Let's join the conversation now at St. George's Bristol.
