Figura and Ivory, who have been married nearly a decade and live together in Norwich in a house that used to be a butchery, talked about love poems, how love and marriage have respectively been imagined in poetry, reading one another's work, developing through conversation, and on knowing when to stay silent in verse as much as in marriage. They also read poems—their own, each others’ and those of other poets who have written on these themes. Introduced by <em>The Caravan</em>’s Fiction and Poetry Editor, Chandrahas Choudhury, the event was held on 18 January 2013, at Vishv Books, Connaught Place, courtesy a generous grant from the British Council.
