Poetry Reading and Q&A with Jane Hartshorn

As part of our commemoration of Disability Recognition Month, the School of English is delighted to announce that we’ll be hosting a poetry reading and Q&A with Jane Hartshorn. 

Jane Hartshorn is a poet, essayist and researcher whose work considers the embodied experience of chronic illness. Jane’s writing explores the medical encounter, the phenomenology of illness and the body as an unfamiliar place, via a shapeshifting navigation of environment, narrative and fragmentation. Her work includes BLOWFLY (ossa prints, 2023), In the Sick Hour (Takeaway Press, 2020), Tract (Litmus Publishing, 2017), and with Valeska Noemi, Soft Tissue Rarely Preserves (2023).

Please join us for an exciting evening of poetry and discussion, which forms part of our celebration of Disability Recognition Month. All welcome; please book a place.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, with step-free access to the rear of the Monica Partridge Building. Here is a link to the complete accessibility guide for the venue. Please contact the organiser if you have any additional questions or accessibility requirements: vicky.sparrow@nottingham.ac.uk
