University College is excited to host the launch of Primers Volume Seven from Nine Arches Press, featuring a reading from Grendel’s Mother Bites Back, the latest poetry sequence by Dr Laura Varnam, Lecturer in Old and Middle English Literature. Join us for an evening of poetry, conversation, and insight into this Beowulf-inspired work that reimagines the perspective of Grendel’s Mother.
Laura will be joined in conversation by author Eleanor Baker (Book Curses), bringing her distinctive view on literature and myth to an engaging Q&A session. Following the reading and discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Primers Volume Seven (cash only) and have it signed by the author.
This event is open to all members of the University and the public. Don’t miss this chance to explore contemporary poetry and celebrate Laura’s latest work!
