Experience the power and beauty of medieval poetry as poets Susie Campbell and Ruth Wiggins come together for an evening of readings and discussion. Join us for "Revoicing Medieval Poetry with Susie Campbell and Ruth Wiggins" at K22 (Huntingdon Rm), King's Manor in York on November 30, 2023.

Susie Campbell, author of The Sleeping Place, takes us on a journey through time with her second book from Guillemot Press. Through language and visual collage, she invites readers to explore the layers of complexity and patterns that make up our past. Uncover the truth behind the white Anglo-Saxon 'originary' myth and challenge the notion of a stable history.

Ruth Wiggins, in her debut collection The Lost Book of Barkynge, uncovers the forgotten voices of nuns, abbesses, and local women from the medieval abbey at Barking. Experience the strange and uncertain days of the early abbey as famine, plague, war, and spiritual upheaval shape their lives. This powerful collection will transport you back in time and reveal the strength of sisterhood and resilience.

Both poets are deeply connected to the medieval past and their work reflects this fascination. Join us as they read from their captivating poetry and discuss how medieval literature and culture have influenced their creative process. This is a free event open to all who wish to join.
