Join Esther Anatolitis to celebrate the launch of Public. Open. Space. by Kate Larsen.

Public. Open. Space is a collection of poetry inspired by spaces, places and situations that are controlled and contested online and in real life. Looking at firewalls and feminism, activism and apathy, Public. Open. Space. explores freedom and suppression, censorship and silencing, propaganda and protest, as well as the difference between being told ‘no’ and choosing to say it ourselves. Positioned at the intersection of poetic and digital culture, this collection explores the sense of placelessness increasingly resonant for all of us who live and work in the digital realm.

Bebe Backhouse will also be doing a reading from his book More Than These Bones on the night.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
