Pattern-book by Éireann Lorsung: Carcanet Online Book Launch

Join Carcanet Press to celebrate the launch of Pattern-book by Éireann Lorsung. The reading will be hosted by Jon McGregor. The event will feature readings and discussion, and audience members will have the opportunity to ask their own questions. We will show the text during readings so that you can read along.

Threaded through with filaments of others’ poems – from Gerard Manley Hopkins to Emily Dickinson to Gwendolyn Brooks – Pattern-book’s sonnets, couplets, quatrains and invented forms draw on family life, art history, grief, time and the natural world. Woven of recurring images, Lorsung’s form brings pattern to vivid life.

Registration for this online event will cost £2, redeemable against the cost of the book. You will receive the discount code and instructions for how to purchase the book in your confirmation email as well as during and after the event.
