Poetry readings

Since Parasol unit opened its door to the public, poetry reading evenings have been a favourite. These exciting and enlivening events have been coordinated by the poet and critic Barry Schwabsky.

Our poetry evenings will continue with  Barry Schwabsky and Carol Szymanski on 23 May.

Carol Szymanski is an American artist living in London. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including one-person shows in New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Aalst, Belgium. Her current project is “cockshut dummy,” an ongoing sequence of texts and digital images.
