A special one-day introduction to the life and work of poet Violet Jacob will be taking place on Saturday 17 May 2014. Run by Hospitalfield Arts, the introduction will be led by Lisa Simmons and Sheila Mann at Hospitalfield House, off the West Way, Arbroath, in Angus. During the day there will be a biographical sketch of Violet, with examples of her life, family background, and various connections, including a look at cultural life in Angus during the 19^th and 20^th centuries. In the morning members of the course will relax and listen to readings from the work of Jacob, followed by a lunch at Hospitalfield House, and then an afternoon of readings and discussion.
