Explore the work of poet W.S. Graham
About
Poets Sam Buchan-Watts and Lavinia Singer will run a relaxed reading group of some key works by the modernist poet W. S. Graham (1918–86), who lived for most of his writing life in Cornwall.
Lavinia Singer is a poetry editor at Faber & Faber. Her poetry explores image-making and materiality, and has appeared in various magazines, journals and anthologies.
Sam Buchan-Watts is the author of Faber New Poets 15 and the recipient of an Eric Gregory Award and a Northern Writers Award for poetry. He is completing a PhD on W. S. Graham at the University of York.
Both Lavinia and Sam have recently undertaken archival work on W. S. Graham, particularly on the intersection between poetry and art in his manuscripts and letters, and are contributors to Chicago Review’s recent special issue, ‘W. S. Graham: Approaches’, and the centenary anthology The Caught Habits of Language (Donut Press, 2018).
Free admission, all welcome. Meet in CAST Café.
