Description
Sex, Shame and Problematic Ancestry in Queer Poetry with Richard Scott and Keith Jarrett. Hosted by Eleanor Penny.
We are very excited to announce poets Richard Scott and Keith Jarrett will be reading at the Summer Locomotrix alongside Housmans Poet in Residence Eleanor Penny.
Richard will be reading from his critically acclaimed collection 'Soho' (Faber) and Keith will be reading from his collection 'Selah'. They will be joined by Eleanor to explore the theme of (often problematic) literary gay ancestry and how sex and shame have influenced their work.
Not to be missed!
