Event Details
Two Lancaster University lecturers introduce their new creative work: Jane Draycott's poetry collection, The Kingdom, and Conor O'Callaghan's novel, We Are Not in the World.
Two brilliant writers read from and talk about their new books—poetry and prose.
Jane Draycott’s new poetry collection The Kingdom (2022) is published by Carcanet Press. She has received a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, has been shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot and the Forward Prizes, and her translation of the medieval dream-elegy Pearl was widely acclaimed. A recipient of the Keats-Shelley Prize for Poetry and the Hippocrates Prize for Poetry and Medicine, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2020.
Conor O'Callaghan is originally from Dundalk, and now divides his time between Dublin and the North of England. The author of four books of poetry, his first novel Nothing on Earth was published by Doubleday Ireland in 2016. Tonight, he’ll be reading from his latest acclaimed novel We Are Not in the World (Penguin, 2022), described by the Guardian as ‘stylish, deft, brilliant’.
