I’m looking forward to taking part in this online conference on 5th and 6th August: ‘Is it Shame or Is it Water: poetry and research in conversation’

This two-day symposium at the Oxford Centre for Life Writing, convened by Dr Katherine Collins, Dr Helen Mort, and Dr Mariah Whelan, will bring together poets, researchers, researcher-poets and poet-researchers interested in exploring the intersections of poetry and research. Papers will explore questions around practices, ethics, outputs, and ourselves as writers/researchers.

I’ll be reading from The Print Museum and discussing poetry and research. There are several fascinating panels to enjoy, with keynote speakers Amit Chaudhuri,  Carmen Bugan and Kate Clanchy.
