Uncollected Poets: Archive and Publication Launch, 22 November 2023

This event brought together the poets in residence: Anthony Vahni Capildeo, Jay Bernard, Joelle Taylor and Gail McConnell to celebrate the launch of their archives at the University of East Anglia.

The poets read from a new collection of their writing inspired by the project: ‘Towards a Centre for Contemporary Poetry in the Archive’ and reflected with Visiting Poetry Fellow, Will Harris, on the process of archiving and the questions the projects had raised for their creative practice.

Unique items from the poets' archives were on display, alongside poetry by participants in the creative writing workshops they led for Norfolk public libraries during summer 2023.
