Writers at York and the department of English and Related Literature are proud to host this special poetry reading and launch event, in honour of 100 Queer Poems - an anthology edited by Mary Jean Chan and Andrew McMillan and published earlier this year by Vintage.
100 Queer Poems, is a celebration of thrilling contemporary voices and visionary poets of the past. Questioning and redefining what we mean by a 'queer' poem, it includes classics alongside thrilling new voices.
For this York event, readers will include Vahni (Anthony Ezekiel) Capildeo, Kit Fan, Rosie Garland, Nathan Walker, JT Welsch, and the book's co-editor Andrew McMillan. Readings will be accompanied by a discussion of the book and contemporary queer poetry.
