Revisiting the British Poetry Revival/Pierre Joris this Saturday 10-5

 II am talking (and reading poetry) at this. I found these details online and discovered it seems to be a public event. Find the Royal Holloway rooms in Senate House. Pierre Joris and The British Poetry Revival

6 December 2025: Senate House, University of London, WC1E 7HU

(Stewart House, Room 1 – the Royal Holloway suite accessed through Senate House)

 

10.00-1.00: Revisiting the British Poetry Revival

 

10.10- 11.15

Professor Robert Sheppard, ‘Looking at the British Poetry Revival Again’

Dr Carl Kears, ‘Bill Griffiths and the Phoenix in Seaham’

 

3.20+ On Pierre Joris

 Ending with poetry from Allen Fisher, Geraldine monk and myself. 

The event is in the Royal Holloway suite of rooms in the University of London Senate House. Confusingly, access is through Senate House (not through Stewart House). 

 

It is in the same building as Senate House Library. You pass the reception desk in the lobby and go up the flight of stairs to the first floor - and then turn left.

 

10am-5pm.

Revisiting the British Poetry Revival: Conference on the British Poetry Revival; afternoon sessions commemorate the work of poet Pierre Joris. Speakers include Robert Sheppard, Andrew Duncan, Carl Kears, Will Rowe, Peter Middleton, Allen Fisher and Nicole Peyrafitte, plus film from Colin Stills and a reading by Geraldine Monk.

Senate House, Malet Street, Bloomsbury WC1E 7HU.
