She has also been a featured poet in The Bad Betty Press’s Book of Bad Betties and in The Mays Anthology, and her prose pieces have been published in The Guardian and elsewhere.

Poet and translator Sasha Dugdale, Writer in Residence at St John’s, will introduce the reading and afterwards chair a discussion.

The Harper-Wood Studentship for English Poetry and Literature is to encourage a project of creative writing by making it possible for the holder to engage in relevant, project-related travel and study.
