Intercapillary Event - Common Presence June 20th
Common Presence: Infinite Diagonals and Finite Verticals
Peter Larkin will read from his poetry which engages with an intriguingly scarce sense of mystery which arises from trees, edge-lands and hinterlands, paradoxically providing a 'dense phenomenological incitement of trees'. John Milbank will then give a talk on 'The Eight Diagonals' of poetry with the aim of locating this mystery within a philosophical framework. The talk will argue that earth's organic crust is thin, but even thinner is a 'spiritual crust' which breaks through the organic in a series of diagonals (from culture to justice). Poetry is key to tracing these diagonals which are poetic in nature.
Parasol Unit, 14 Wharf Road, N1 7RW
7pm Thurs 2oth June
Tickets: £5/£4 conc

Binders Full of Women: Live - Thursday 17th January
BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN
Thursday 17th January
When Mitt Romney claimed he had been given “binders full of women” by women’s organisations in Massachusetts, it was the moment that launched a thousand Tumblr memes. From the team that brought you Catechism: Poems for Pussy Riot, it also inspired this – a binder full of outspoken poems by writers who identify as female, trans, intersex or gender-neutral.
At this special reading, join contributors to the anthology as they share their work, their wit and their anger. All proceeds from the sale of these riots of glitter glue go to Rape Crisis UK and the Michael Causer Foundation.
With glitter glue, feminist cupcakes and readings/performances from Sarah Crewe, Nia Davies, Sarah Hesketh, Kirsten Irving, Rowena Knight, Agnes Marton, Sophie Mayer, Nat Raha, Shelagh Rowan-Legg, Jacqueline Saphra, Alison Winch and more!
Toynbee Studios
28 Commercial Street London E1 6AB
7.30pm. £3 (Book Tickets here: http://www.artsadmin.co.uk/events/3247)
