All welcome to this Inventions of the Text event.
Inventions of the Text
“A full-frontal engagement with queer experience”… “A rich, heart-breaking, vivid poetry collection about representation, discrimination, sexuality, and what society can do to fix its repeated attacks on marginalised groups”… “Powerful, urgent and deeply relevant reading”… Quotes from three reviews of poet Richard Scott’s debut collection, Soho (Faber & Faber, 2018) which was a Gay’s the Word book of the year and shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot prize.
Join us on Thursday 13 January when Richard will be reading newer poems alongside a selection from Soho and taking questions from the (Zoom) floor.
