Join us for the much anticipated evening of South Asian poetry readings from the anthology ‘Third Space’.
British South Asian poetry is flourishing throughout the UK, but it is still not being amply reflected in mainstream publishing, on poetry courses or through poetry societies. Third Space was set up by poet and artist Suman Gujral with an eye on filling this gap.
In collaboration with the award-winning independent publisher Renard Press, an open call for submissions went out in April 2024, working towards the publication of this ground-breaking volume of South Asian poetry.
Hosted by BBC Three Counties Farzana Chaudry the evening will be a real celebration of South Asia, with an array of South Asian delights including samosas, pakoras, chicken skewers, mango lassi and Indian sweets.
You will also have the opportunity to purchase your own copy of ‘Third Space’ at the event.
