Spend an evening exploring the meaning of ‘home’ with local author Gosia Buzzanca. Gosia will be in conversation with fellow author and communications professional Jade E. Bradford, about her stunning new memoir, 'There She Goes, My Beautiful World'.
***
What does ‘home’ mean? Is it where you come from, or something you must build for yourself, brick by brick, from the ruins and treasures of everything that came before?
In this compelling memoir, Gosia Buzzanca tells the story of leaving Poland at nineteen in search of a bigger life, hoping to leave the traumas of her teenage years behind. After studying in England, she finds a rich new tapestry of experience awaiting her in Wales – love, literature, motherhood, and the challenge of making peace with the past so that this new life by the sea can finally feel like home.
Written with the fearless honesty of a poet, this is a story for anyone who has ever felt lost or incomplete, and who yearns to find the place where they truly belong.
Gosia Buzzanca was born in Poznań, Poland, and moved to the UK in 2008. She holds an MA in Creative Writing (Distinction), won the W&A Working-Class Writers’ Prize (2022), and joined the Hay Festival Writers at Work programme in 2025. Described as “warm and vibrant” and “fearlessly tender,” she lives in Barry, South Wales, and is working on her debut novel.
Jade E. Bradford is a South Wales–based author and communications professional. Her fiction explores place and belonging, with work published in Wasafiri, Breadfruit Magazine, and Rowayat. She won the 2024 Breadfruit Magazine Prize, was highly commended for the 2023 Faber FAB Prize, and longlisted for the 2025 4thWrite Prize. She has also been selected for schemes with Literature Wales, the Black British Book Festival, and Hay Festival Writers at Work.
