A Short History of the Nightingale – a walk to Emajõe Beach with Penny Boxall (UK)

Thursday, 8th May
21.00
Meeting point in front of the Tartu German Cultural Institute (Kastani Street 1)

Penny Boxall (writer-in-residence in Tartu in 2022 and 2024) had never heard a nightingale before visiting Estonia, though the birds (now rare in the UK) hold a particular place in English folklore. In this dusk walk to Supilinn Beach, she’ll consider the legacy of these diminutive and mysterious birds.

In English.

The walk is part of the project “Tartu Revisited” – Walks with Former Writers-in-Residence.
