Check out the PBS Northern Poetry Symposium at the Newcastle Poetry Festival!
3rd May at the Sage Gateshead (Newcastle) with an action packed day of talks and panel discussions on the theme of poetry in translation, world poetry and exiled voices, so it’s a really powerful topic. We’ve got some great speakers lined up including Forward shortlisted poets Nick Makoha and Karen McCarthy Woolf, Dutch poets Elma Van Haren, Fiona Sampson, Sean O’Brien, Ukrainian poet Ilya Kaminsk
Last year lots of great literary organisations attended, as well as poets, writers, translators, so there were some good networking opportunities for the students who attended. There’s also a reduced rate of £20 for students and that includes the full day plus a free glass of wine at the showcase reading at the end, so that might appeal!
