Writers' Centre Kingston Poetry Reading

Kingston University's literary cultural centre presents readings from poets and writers on the theme of Becoming. The three speakers are Damien Le Bas, Tina Chanter and Christoph Lueder.

Each of the three speakers will respond as they see fit - with a new piece of literature or an informal talk, an academic lecture or a performance. They might shape a previous work to the theme or create brand new fiction, non-fiction, theatre or poetry. Their choice of medium is as creatively free as their choice of message. 

The event will also see the launch of Astra Papachristodoulou's Clockwork, a quietly simmering circuit around the city of Guildford, a journey in time, thoughts, and train stations, told in the beautifully simple, cropped language of a busy cosmopolitan age. Blending the traditional with the modern and the ethereal with the concrete, it is a powerfully moving and complex work.   

 
This event will be opened with short new collaborative texts made especially for the night, from students and alumni of Kingston University and writers local to the Centre, including Olga Kolesnikova and Yvonne Litschel, Alan Boyce and Marcia Knight Latter, Susie Campbell and Lucy Furlong, Dacy Lim and Yemi Dipeolu and more.
