Oxford Literary Festival kicks off

There will be a Tower Poetry event this Saturday 25th March at Christ Church College, Oxford, at 2pm: Jane Yeh, Frances Leviston and Peter McDonald will appear as part of the Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival 2006.

2 pm • £5.00 • Christ Church

Jane Yeh is an American poet whose first collection Marabou was shortlisted for both a Forward Prize and the Whitbread Poetry Award. She reads from her work and is joined by Frances Leviston, an emerging young poet, who also read her work at last year’s Festival. This reading is organized by Tower Poetry, which was established through a bequest to Christ Church, Oxford, and which supports the Christopher Tower poetry competition, the Tower Poetry Summer School and several publishing and educational initiatives. The event is chaired by Tower Poetry Director, Peter McDonald, who also reads from his poems, and there is an opportunity to talk to them all about their work.
