CRSN’s next event will be held at Senate House, London on Thursday 2nd November 2017. It is a Classics And Poetry Now! workshop supported by CRSN, Institute for Classical Studies and Open University, and organised by Henry Stead (henry.stead@open.ac.uk). Please contact him with any queries.
For more information about the workshop see the Call for Papers. Attendance is £10 (payable in cash at registration) and spaces are limited, so please book your spot early by emailing Henry. Just send a message with your name, affiliation (if appropriate) and “CAPN2017” in the subject bar and you’ll be on the list.
After the workshop there will be an evening of poems in a nearby pub (The Duke, Doughty Mews, London). Poets Caroline Bird, Amy McCauley and friends will perform their work. This is open to all — a donation of £5 on the door would help towards costs (excluding workshop speakers).
Key texts and information about each paper will be circulated over the coming weeks. Follow CRSN on Twitter to receive updates, and use #CAPN17 to join in the conversation!
