I don’t normally publish notices at Psychogeographic Review but, since this event has been organised by this blog’s favourite poet, Liz Lefroy, and because it promises to be such a fantastic evening of wordsmithing, here goes…
On Thursday 11th October 2012 at 7.30pm Carol Ann Duffy and Gillian Clarke will read from their work at Glyndŵr University in Wrexham. The readings will take place in the William Aston Hall, Glyndŵr University, Wrexham.
Carol Ann Duffy was appointed Britain’s Poet Laureate in 2009. She has won many prizes, including the Whitbread Poetry Award, the Forward Poetry Prize, the TS Eliot Prize and the Costa Poetry Award. Her collections include Mean Time, The World’s Wife, Rapture and The Bees and she is editor of Jubilee Lines, 60 Poets for 60 Years: a specially commissioned anthology marking the Queen’s 2012 Diamond Jubilee.
Gillian Clarke has been the National Poet of Wales since 2008. In 2010 she was awarded the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry. Her Collected Poems was published in 1997 and collections published since have included Five Fields andA Recipe for Water. Ice is due out in October 2012. At the Source, A Writer’s Year, gives a lyrical insight into Gillian’s life as a writer set in the rich landscape of Ceredigion.
