16 Days - Reading: Clare Shaw and Dr Malika Booker

Join us for a poetry reading from Clare Shaw, praised by the Times Literary Supplement for their ‘fierce, memorable and visceral’ style, and Dr Malika Booker, the first woman to win the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem twice. Their work explores articulations of inherited trauma, gendered violence and resistance.

This event is part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a series of poetry readings, panels and workshops led by academics in the field. Our events examine how poetry can create transformational social change in partnership with the public and policymakers.
