Everyone is warmly welcome to join Inventions of the Text, for poetry reading and critical thinking with Dr Kim Moore.
An Inventions of the Text event
“Moore’s poetic testimonials expose the underbelly of society’s misogynist micro-infractions” (Malika Booker)
“This book is a revolutionary and subversive requisition of the female gaze, and it will be canonical” (Fiona Benson)
Praise given to Kim Moore’s All the Men I Never Married, which the poet will be reading from at Inventions of the Text on Wednesday 4 May. Alongside her reading, Kim will draw on her critical research to talk about why poetry is an ideal medium for examining experiences of sexism.
Creative Writing Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University
