Lee Harwood and Sarah Corbett 21st March

Lee Harwood began writing in the 1960s and was at the heart of the British Poetry Revival. A Collected Poems from Shearsman shows the range of his work from that time until now: New York poems in the style of Frank O’Hara, a period of notebook and place poems influenced by Charles
Olson, through to intense lyrics that always surprise by their surreal edges and by a collagist sense that nothing is ever only one thing. Harwood lives in Brighton and a new book is due from Enitharmon in May
2014.

Sarah Corbett won an Eric Gregory award in 1997 and her first collection, The Red Wardrobe (seren, 1998) was shortlisted for the Forward Best First Collection Prize and the T.S. Eliot prize. Her second collection was The Witch Bag (seren, 2002) was followed by Other Beasts (seren, 2008). Sarah has since written a verse-novel, Dreamriser, as part of her Ph.D in Creative Writing at Manchester
University, which she is now adapting as a piece for performance. She is currently writing a new collection of poems, Being Here. Sarah teaches creative writing for Lancaster University and runs the poetrynites@thebookcase reading series in Hebden Bridge.
