The first in London Zoo’s Authors for Animals series, Consider the Seahorse will bring together former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion and poet Jo Shapcott to, quite literally, consider the seahorse.
Passionate conservationist and poet Jo Shapcott will introduce the event. A ZSL keeper will educate the audience about seahorses’ habits and husbandry, and a ZSL scientist will discuss the threats to this majestic and precarious species as well as the efforts being made to protect and support seahorses in the wild.
Andrew Motion, who needs no introduction, will respond to these, almost mythical, creatures imaginatively and will read from his works and poetry about the seahorse.
