On Tuesday 5 March, 2024 at 7pm, I am honoured to be one of the Live Canon poets reading at In-Words’ Shakespeare event in West Greenwich Library, London SE10. Organiser Irena Hill says: 

‘Local writer and scholar Neville Grant will talk about some aspects of his recently published book Shakespeare in an Age of Anxiety (Greenwich Exchange, 2023) – his motivation and process of writing, and a very 21st century perspective (our own age of anxiety).

Neville’s talk will be followed by readings from 154 (Live Canon 2016), an amazing project where each of 154 poets responds to one of Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets. Lorraine Mariner, Gillie Robic, Rosie Johnston, NJ Hynes, Doreen Hinchliffe and Nick Elsen form the outstanding line-up.

With many thanks to James Hodgson of Greenwich Exchange and Helen Eastman of Live Canon.’

Details of everyone’s CVs are on Irena’s website here. She omits to mention that wine and her fabulous home-made cakes will on offer too. Please join us if you can for this unique evening.
