Poems on the Underground: Celebrating 40 Years

Cambridge University Library will be celebrating 40 years since the publication of this beloved literary project.

Hosted by Dr Jessica Gardner, University Librarian, join us for a conversation with, and readings from, project co-directors Judith Chernaik, Imtiaz Dharker and George Szirtes.

The archive was donated to Cambridge University Library in 2024 and includes posters, eclectic memorabilia and letters. A small selection will be on display at this event.

Tickets are free and include a complimentary drink and the opportunity to enjoy the Living Water: Poetry, Art and the Fight for Clean Rivers exhibition after the talk. Under 18s are welcome to attend but must be accompanied by an adult.
