Michael Longley's Collected Poems was published
by Jonathan Cape in 2006. He has been awarded
the Hawthornden Prize, the T.S. Eliot Prize, and
the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry. This reading
marks the publication of his new collection,
Angel Hill. Focusing on trends in cultural preference, Korean
artists have explored sexuality, gender, socialization
and identity, while also highlighting associated
relationships with consumerism.
Outreach
From the lengths to which people will go to
achieving societies perceived perfection of gender
appearance, to body sections presented as the
objects of desire.
An important part of the Book Festival is the work we do in the community. All of these events are free to attend,
but we recommend that you book your place, as space is limited.
