Join for a live reading from acclaimed poet, Joelle Taylor and an extended Q&A about her work.

<a href="https://twitter.com/jtaylortrash" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Joelle Taylor</a> is an award-winning poet, playwright, author and editor. She has performed across the UK as well as internationally, both for the British Council (Zimbabwe, Brazil, Botswana, Australia and Singapore) and on solo projects across Europe. Her latest collection C+nto &amp; Othered Poems is a critically acclaimed collection described as &quot;absolutely incredible&quot; (DIVA Magazine) and &quot;an alter of a book&quot; (Inua Ellams). Joelle joins us to present a reading of her work and for an extended Q&amp;A about her amazing career.The female body is a political space.C+nto enters the private lives of women from the butch counterculture, telling the inside story of the protests they led in the ‘90s to reclaim their bodies as their own – their difficult balance between survival and self-expression. History, magic, rebellion, party and sermon vibrate through Joelle Taylor’s cantos to uncover these underground communities forged by women.Part-memoir and part-conjecture, Taylor explores sexuality and gender in poetry that is lyrical, expansive, imagistic, epic and intimate. C+nto is a love poem, a riot, a late night and an honouring.To purchase a copy of C+nto &amp; Othered Poems, click <a href="https://saqibooks.com/books/the-westbourne-press/cnto/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.All events will take place online (via Zoom) and will include auto-captioning.
