Lucy Harvest Clarke's Silveronda has just been published by if p then q.
Lucy Harvest Clarke’s poems merge the surreal into the common place. Using a blend of sprung rhythm and jacked up line endings a subtle erotic poise bobs up into and then out of sight like a fairground duckshoot; you keep wanting to have another go, you can't help admiring the trick. Silveronda is her debut collection. Work has featured in Parameter, Greatworks, onedit and The Other Room anthology 2009.

This third and final seminar focuses on presenting and discussing modes of practice that address in many different ways questions of cultural translation, linguistic or textual exchange, intermodal transformation. We wish to discuss the notion of translational poetics itself as a mode of writing and of thinking that articulates broader modes of contemporary cultural and ethical engagement/s.
The series exists exclusively to favour discussions and inputs from a whole range of text-led practitioners, both established, emerging and rearing to go. The writers invited come from different modes of practice.

Presentations will be followed by a small drinks reception.
Admission free.
