This event features poetry written by 3 Northern Ireland based writers, Kelly Creighton, Linda McKenna, and Emma McKervey. It is inspired by the stories of women and crime in 19th Century court cases against working class women. The format is a 15min reading each, and then a panel style discussion of the work, how we researched and put our collections together. Kelly Creighton's Unbecoming is about the Staten Island witch, Polly Bodine in the 1840s. Emma McKervey’s Highland Boundary Fault looks at her great grandparent’s love letters which were intercepted by a jealous village girl and resulted in a Sheriff’s Court Case in the 1890s. Linda McKenna’s Four Thousand Keys is inspired by the case of Elizabeth Dunham who was tried in the Old Bailey for the theft of thousands of keys to a range of public buildings around London,
