Dead [Women] Poets Society
A Durham Book Festival event. Please book tickets (from £4) via the Festival website.
Who are the Dead Women Poets? How “dead” are they? And what is our relationship to them, as contemporary women, poets, artists, “queens of the whole world”?
Join four emerging women poets from Durham University and across the UK—Jasmine Simms, Sarah Fletcher, Helen Bowell and Katie Byford—for an evening exploring the lost female voices of the poetic canon. Through a process of readings and reflections, we will briefly re-examine the the voices of four dead female poets, exploring their influence on our writing and identities today.
A Cuckoo Young Writers event at Durham Book Festival in collaboration with The Writing Squad.
Contact jasmine.simms@durham.ac.uk for more information about this event.
