Poetry Reading - Denise Riley Where: Tapestry Room, Firth Hall, Western Bank, Sheffield When: 7pm Thursday 15th March 2012 Denise Riley (born 1948, Carlisle) is an English poet and philosopher who began to be published in the 1970s. Her poetry is remarkable for its paradoxical interrogation of selfhood within the lyric mode. Her critical writings on motherhood, women in history, identity, and philosophy of language, are recognised as an important contribution to Feminism and Contemporary Philosophy. She was, until recently, Professor of Literature with Philosophy at the University of East Anglia and is currently A. D. White Professor at Cornell University. She was formerly Writer in Residence at Tate Gallery London, and has held fellowships at Brown University and at Birkbeck, University of London. More info: A.Piette@sheffield.ac.uk

4th February - Parasol Unit
The Parasol Unit Readings Series continues on Thursday, 4 February, 2010 at 7 pm with a reading by Peter Riley.
Peter Riley was born in Stockport in 1940. He was an editor of The English Intelligencer and the editor/publisher of Poetical Histories. Passing Measures, his selected poems, was published by Carcanet in 2000, and The Day’s Final Balance: uncollected writings 1965-2006 was published by Shearsman in 2007. His most recent book, Greek Passages (Shearsman, 2009) is a set of 105 prose-poems derived from four sojourns in Greece. Mark Scroggins has called Riley’s work “an extraordinary poetry, one which takes the techniques of modernism to almost a certain limit, yet retains the entire lyric and emotional intensity of the English tradition.”
Parasol Unit is located at 14 Wharf Road, London N1 7RW, between Old Street and Angel tube stations. Parasol Unit readings are organized by Barry Schwabsky. They are free to the public. More information at http://www.parasol-unit.org/.
