On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A celebration hosted by Kirsty Gunn, Visiting Research Fellow in the Creative Arts at Merton College.
This convivial and informal evening has been planned to highlight the poetry and creative practice of prominent poets on the Carcanet list, all of whom have connections to Oxford and the University.
Come along and hear a range of readings by Peter McDonald, Jane Yeh, Rowland Bagnall, Jane Draycott, Peter Davidson and Jenny Lewis, and be part of a discussion that will range from themes of influence and tradition to a consideration of contemporary poetics and the role of the poet in contemporary society.
A drinks reception will follow the presentation, where there will be an opportunity to meet the poets, purchase copies of recent collections and learn more about the work of Carcanet Press in making a major contribution to cultural life in the UK and beyond.
