About this Event


Newcastle Centre for the Literary Arts
Join NCLA and the Poetry Book Society to launch the PBS Spring Selections with leading poets Karen McCarthy Woolf and Jennifer Wong. Karen McCarthy Woolf will read from Unsafe (Bloomsbury), a fierce interrogation of colonialism and gentrification in LA and London. Jennifer Wong will launch Light Year (Nine Arches Press), a journey into the life of a migrant and mother. Join us for a thoughtprovoking and continent-crossing night of contemporary poetry and conversation with Sinéad Morrissey, Professor of Poetry at Newcastle University.
