Joelle Taylor: Maryville

About

Joelle Taylor brings a staged reading of her new poetry collection to Brighton Festival; a searing, poetic excavation of 50 years of lesbian counterculture.
Following on from her T.S. Eliot Prize-winning poetry collection C+nto & Othered Poems, Joelle Taylor’s Maryville charts the lives of four butch lesbians through five decades of underground queer history, tracing the culture, clubs and resistance that shaped their world.

The performance is directed by acclaimed writer and director Neil Bartlett, with visuals from artist and filmmaker Sweatmother. It will be followed by an on-stage Q&A and book signings.

Friday's Q&A will be chaired by poet John McCullough and Saturday's Q&A will be chaired by Dr Rosy Carrick, a poet, playwright, actor, translator and stage compere.
