In these days of restrictions, the quieter, slower pace of the world is a good time to reflect on how our yesterdays have created what we are today. From the personal trials of overcoming prejudice and creating ground-breaking, often lonely, paths; to political decisions made to stand up for equality and make visible that which has been hidden — these are stories of being ‘not quite right’ that need to be shared.
Join us for the launch of Not Quite Right For Us: Forty Writers Speak Volumes, a celebration of outsiderness and an ode to otherness. The poems of Andy Jackson, John Mateer and E. Ethelbert Miller, and the memoirs of Paul Burston and Olive Senior, will give us pause for thought as we learn just how much personal and public histories can teach us.
Not Quite Right For Us is published to celebrate the 10th anniversary of live literature producer Speaking Volumes. The anthology is a singular collection of stories, essays and poems by a dynamic mix of established and surging voices alike. The book is edited by Sharmilla Beezmohun and published by flipped eye.
