It is a reckoning with the things we inherit – silence and absence, stories told and untold – and the transgression involved in turning a life into art. At the heart of the book is Gillian, his devoted single mother, and the small yet unforgettable details of her life that are woven into a powerful meditation on impermanence, grief, class and solitude.At once intimate and expansive, this luminous memoir traces one man’s journey from loss back towards life. Through stories about the writers and painters with whom he feels a kinship – including the English Romantics, W. H. Hudson and Agnes Martin – and the history of his own Sussex working-class family, Cunnell writes his way home to a place, to a culture and to himself as an artist.Cunnell’s descriptive power, so widely praised in his first memoir, reaches a new breathtaking level, with the simplicity that only comes from the finest craft and poetry. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/canterbury/in-conversation-with-howard-cunnell-canterbury/100001989010281294 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, literary-art, health-wellness, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Waterstones - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 22, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Canterbury - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 51.27784030000001 - **long**: 1.0806876 - **full address**: Waterstones, 6-8 Rose Lane, Canterbury, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: In Conversation with Howard Cunnell - Canterbury - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/c014fa28f4fed36b9b58bf0526b19990ada58e757c386b0b7be52a143d37a475-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1779173186 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is In Conversation with Howard Cunnell - Canterbury being held? - **A:** In Conversation with Howard Cunnell - Canterbury takes place on Thu, 30 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 30 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Waterstones, 6-8 Rose Lane, Canterbury, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing In Conversation with Howard Cunnell - Canterbury? - **A:** In Conversation with Howard Cunnell - Canterbury is organized by Waterstones. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
