Jill Abram presents: Steve Ely launches
This event on 11th November 2024 at 19:00 has past.
Join Steve Ely and Jill Abram to celebrate the launch of two new books.
Upstairs at the Devereux pub, 20 Devereux Ct, London WC2R 3JJ
Doors open 6:30, Poetry starts 7pm FREE
The poems in the Apocalyptic Landscape anthology emerged from a creative writing short course devised by Steve Ely, entitled Writing the Apocalyptic Landscape. Participants were encouraged to generate visionary responses to the crisis of the Anthropocene in the context of landscapes important to them. In the first half of this event, Katy Evans Bush, JP Seabright, Martyn Crucefix, Anita Pati, Caroline Maldonado and Jill Abram will read their pieces from the anthology, as well as a selection of other work.
Orasaigh is a collaboration between poet Steve Ely and photographer Michael Faint, inspired by the landscape around the tidal island of Orasaigh, located on the coast of South Uist at Boisdale. Ely’s visionary poem, whilst always remaining anchored in the island, roams widely, exploring a range of themes related to Uist and the wider world – sea level rise, the crisis of the ‘sixth extinction’, history, culture, politics, conflict and class. Steve will read extracts in the second half of the event.
Time: 7:00pm (Doors open 6:30pm)
