In partnership with Outburst Queer Arts Festival, we are delighted to present Colette Bryce, Outburst's artist in residence, in conversation with acclaimed Irish poet, and our own Reader in Poetry, Leontia Flynn.

Colette Bryce is an award-winning poet from Derry, and has written five collections of poetry with Picador Poetry, most recently The M Pages (2020). Bryce’s poems have been described as reinventing her "relationship as a woman to both poetry and history” and her work has been recognised in many prestigious lists and prizes such as the National Poetry Prize, the Pigott Prize for Irish Poetry and the Christopher Ewart-Biggs Award in memory of Seamus Heaney.

Join us in the beautiful environs of the Great Hall and in the impressive company of these two poets as they read from their work.
