Poetry at Keble

Poets at Keble Series

Each term, a poet visits the college for a reading followed by a question-and-answer session. The spirit of the events is relaxed and informal. Entry is free, and the series is open to members of the university and to the public.

Speakers so far have included established and emerging poets from both the US and the UK: James Longenbach, Simon Armitage, Vidyan Ravinthiran, Jonathan Galassi, Maureen McLane, Alice Oswald, A E Stallings, Jamie McKendrick, Peter Robinson, Don Paterson, Sarah Howe, Michael Longley, Spencer Reece, Denise Riley, Henri Cole, John Burnside, Stephanie Burt, Hera Lindsay Bird, Caitriona O’Reilly, Hannah Sullivan, Richard Scott, Vahni Capildeo, Kit Fan, Lisa Robertson, Padriag O Tuama, Iryna Starovoyt, Alice Notley and Peter Gizzi.

The next events in the series include readings by Rae Armantrout (Tuesday 11th March) and Fred Moten (Monday 28th April). Both readings will be held at 6pm in the Pusey Room, Keble.

Free entry, no tickets or booking required. All welcome.
