OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The Poetry of Engagement (Creative Writing Seminar)

Nicholas Murray is a poet, novelist and literary biographer who has written on Bruce Chatwin, Andrew Marvell and Matthew Arnold. John Barnie is a prolific poet and essayist, and editor of Planet: the Welsh Interationalist for sixteen years. He was writer in residence at the Oxford Museum of Natural History where his poetry focused on his concern for nature and environmental issues.
