In this event, we welcome poet Karen McCarthy Wolf to share some poems, have a chat, and give you a chance to ask questions as part of our Well Versed series in partnership with StAnza International Poetry Festival.

The Well Versed Series
Each month we will host a different poet, with a chance to read their work a week in advance as part of our Well Versed Poetry Reading group, and to write in response to it the week after as part of our Well Versed Poetry Writing group.
Please note this event will be recorded by StAnza. Speakers will be spotlit on Zoom, but if you prefer to remain anonymous please keep your camera off when asking a question.
