Oxford’s city poet Kate Clanchy will lead a session of poetry reading and discussion that will include Oxford poets, young and old, celebrating the different heritages around Oxford. It will tie in with a project Clanchy is doing with Oxford’s Story Museum. Clanchy is a poet, script-writer, prose artist and creative-writing fellow at Oxford Brookes University. She has won numerous awards including the BBC National Short Story Award, the Writers’ Guild Award, the Forward Poetry Prize (twice) and the Scottish Arts Council Book Award.

The event is presented by Oxford Brookes University and will be chaired by Professor Steve Matthews, director of the poetry centre at the university’s Department of English and Modern Languages.
