16 Days - Reading: Joelle Taylor

Joelle Taylor’s C+nto & Othered Poems, winner of the 2022 Polari Prize and the T.S. Eliot Prize is a compelling, passionate and evocative examination of the 1980’s and 1990’s butch lesbian counterculture in London. Her recent debut novel, The Night Alphabet is a relentlessly inventive investigation into human nature and violence against women.

This event is part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a series of poetry readings, panels and workshops led by academics in the field. Our events examine how poetry can create transformational social change in partnership with the public and policymakers.
