An evening of discussions and readings with acclaimed poets Michael Nardone (Montréal) and Steven Zultanski (Copenhagen) alongside writers from the postgraduate Kerning workshop group.

Join us at the Workshop Theatre for a special evening of conversations about contemporary poetry, cross-arts collaboration and editorial practice with two special guests: Montréal-based poet and editor Michael Nardone, and Copenhagen-based poet and essayist Steven Zultanski.

The discussions will be chaired by the experimental writing group, Kerning, whose membership comes from across the postgraduate community of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures at the University of Leeds.

After the conversation, members of the Kerning group will give readings of new work alongside Nardone and Zultanski.

This event is organised by JR Carpenter (School of English), the Kerning group, and Nick Thurston (School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies), in collaboration with the University of Leeds Poetry Centre. It has been made possible thanks to the generous support of both schools.

The event will be of particular interest to anyone interested in creative-critical writing and multi-disciplinary collaborations for page, performance or screen, and contemporary poetry.

Tickets are free but booking is essential for seating. All are welcome, always.

The event takes place in Studio 1 at the Workshop Theatre.
