About us

Join us for a very special in conversation event focusing on the importance of poetry in the work of two interdisciplinary artists, John Lyons and Osman Yousefzada.

Coming from different generations and communities but united by their love of poetry, they will discuss their writing and its role in their wider practice through their current exhibitions 'Carnivalesque' and 'When will we be good enough?'.

This event will include poetry readings as well as a discussion chaired by contemporary poetry expert, Prof Anthony Caleshu from the University of Plymouth.
