Picador Poetry Presents

Join Picador Poetry Presents for a night of readings with some of the most exciting poets working today.

Irish poet Dean Browne introduces his haunting and brilliant debut collection After Party, a suite of surrealist poems that explore the paradox of being alive in a world laced with loss.

Former winner of the Forward Prize, Luke Kennard, brings us his amazing new collection The Book of Jonah, where we are given the spectacle of a reluctant prophet undergoing increasingly absurd course corrections to arrive, finally, at the triumphant scene of his prophecy.

Karen Solie introduces her Forward Prize shortlisted collection Wellwater. A sublime and urgent new collection with poems that are equally supple, philosophical and bracingly honest.

Hosted by Picador Poetry editors Colette Bryce and Ebruba Abel-Unokan, copies of After Party, The Book of Jonah and Wellwater will be available to purchase on the night.
