QUICK NOTE!: this event is on in the same space directly after Clare Pollard’s ‘Ovid’s Heroides’. It sounds great. I’d go to that first, get a drink in between! Here’s the blurb:Clare Pollard’s new free verse translation rediscovers Ovid’s Heroines for the 21st Century, bringing to life a cast of women who are brave, bitchy, sexy, horrifying, heartbreaking and surprisingly modern. Here Clare reads, recites and performs her poems as love letters fly back and forth between the ancient world and modern Britain.
