An evening of poetry on the theme of Orpheus with Ann Wroe, Elaine Feinstein, Martyn Crucefix
Martyn Crucefix has won numerous prizes including a major Eric Gregory award and a Hawthornden Fellowship. He has published five collections, including An English Nazareth (Enitharmon, 2004) and Hurt (Enitharmon, 2010). His translation of Rilke's Duino Elegies was shortlisted for the 2007 Popescu Prize for European Poetry Translation and hailed as "unlikely to be bettered for very many years" (Magma). His translation of Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus is due in Autumn 2012 from Enitharmon.
Elaine Feinstein has lived as a poet, novelist and biographer since 1980. She has received many awards, including a major grant from the Arts Council to write The Russian Jerusalem (Carcanet, 2008), a Cholmondeley Award for Poetry, an Honorary D.Litt from the University of Leicester, and a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship at Bellagio. Her first novel The Circle first published in 1970 was long-listed for the 'lost' Man Booker Prize in 2010. Her most recent book of poems is Cities.
Ann Wroe is the author of six books, including Pilate: The Biography of an Invented Man (Jonathan Cape, 1999), which was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize; Perkin: A Story of Deception (Cape, 2003); Being Shelley: The Poet's Search for Himself (Cape, 2007); and, most recently, Orpheus: The Song of Life (Cape, 2011).
