Wed 19 Feb 2025, 7pm
Venue: The London Library
Address: 14 St James's Square, London, SW1Y 4LG
An evening celebrating the poetry of Fleur Adcock, hosted by the Royal Society of Literature. This event marks her 91st birthday with a discussion about her work and legacy, interspersed with recordings of the poet reading her own work. The panel will include the editor of Bloodaxe Books, Neil Astley, and poets Wendy Cope and Lorraine Mariner, chaired by Rachel Long.
Fleur Adcock’s work defined a new tone in 20th century poetry. Her writing was, and remains, beloved by poets, teachers and a wide range of readers, who value her incisive wit, beautiful frankness and often surprising humour.
