Full description from organizerShow less
Organisations like PEN International argue that around the world legal and illegal attacks on writers are on the increase. But is poetry inherently risky business? Do poets have to take artistic and social risks because it is their job to subvert language and power and expose their own and their cultures’ vulnerabilities? In this panel, three poets with different linguistic backgrounds discuss their work and the risks they face in pushing the limits set by political and market forces. Things to note: - the venue will be open from 6.00pm. - a cash bar and small bites menu will be available. Presented by PEN Perth in association with Totally Lit and Ode to Sirens. Supported by Murdoch University Indo-Pacific Research Centre. Find other Totally Lit events here.
