Information
Join two tellers of strange tales and blurrers of boundaries, as Caleb Parkin and Dean Browne read from and discuss their most recent collections, in an event chaired by Luke Kennard.
In After Party, Dean’s remarkably assured debut, each poem tests the boundaries of its own universe, taking images and ideas to their extreme: a leg sets off on a long train journey; a Parisian alley cat is launched into space. With a similarly dark sense of humour, Caleb’s collection Mingle stirs up the toxicities between landscapes, ecosystems and bodies, in poems haunted by tarnished ideals, which insistently unsettle the grand narratives we tell ourselves.
This event will be livestreamed.
