Here you will find a series of essays, creative responses and meditations on the teaching of creative writing – and much else besides. The aim is to inspire the reader to write imaginatively, and to learn more about creative writing and how to teach it. The editors of this anthology (myself, Emma Brankin and Carinya Sharples) are practising creative writers and teachers of this familiar but possibly contentious subject. Creative writing is seen as a contentious subject for lots of different reasons: in academia because it’s viewed as lacking rigour, in schools because it might facilitate unsavoury views and images, in society as a whole because it’s perceived as a soft subject. Between us we have a great deal of experience of trying to impart our enthusiasm for reading and writing poetry, fiction, drama and creative non-fiction in diverse settings. We first discussed devising such an anthology in order to showcase some of the great work that the postgraduate students on the MA in Creative Writing and Education at Goldsmiths have done as part of this course during the 2019- 2020 session. Some of their work is

  • Additional Document
    -“Both Spectacular and Unremarkable” Letter of Allegation regarding the Excessive Use of Force and Discrimination by the Philadelphia Police Department in response to Black Lives Matter protests in May and June of 2020 Prepared and submitted by the Andy and Gwen Stern Community Lawyering Clinic of the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law and the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania as a Joint Submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. Much of the credit for this submission belongs to the volunteers who spent countless hours investigating and documenting the events recounted here, as well as interviewing witnesses and victims, editing, and repeatedly verifying the accuracy of this submission. We thank Cal Barnett-Mayotte, Jeremy Gradwohl, Connor Hayes, Tue Ho, Bren Jeffries, Ryan Nasino, Juan Palacio Moreno, Lena Popkin, Katie Princivalle, Caitlin Rooney, Abbie Starker, Ceara Thacker, and William Walker.

Given Philadelphia’s own history of racially discriminatory policing, it was expected and appropriate that such protests would happen here as well.

  • Contemporary British Literary Culture, Higher Education, and the Diversity Scandal
    Contemporary British Literary Culture, Higher Education, and the Diversity Scandal by John Coleman A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Language and Literature Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, John Coleman Abstract Sociologists have demonstrated that neoliberal British education policies reproduce cultural and racial homogeneity in creative industries workforces. These policies have made fine art and design programs key pathways to work in the creative economy. Yet escalating tuition and the reliance on unpaid internships to gain course credit have meant that students are increasingly drawn from the more affluent socio-economic communities – often predominantly white. The impact on contemporary British literature, particularly writing by minoritized authors, has been remarkable. Despite efforts to increase diversity in the literary book trades, the vast majority of publishing professionals are white, independently wealthy graduates of elite universities. Scholars have said little about how the literary field responds to, manifests, and perpetuates this escalating – and racialized – inequality, whose ramifications are evident in everything from Brexit to the emboldening of the anti-immigrant alt-right movement. My research takes up this task. I discuss how neoliberal education policy has privileged a relatively homogenous creative class, whose hegemony resonates across literary production and literature itself. I analyze responses to this class’ control over the literary sphere in chapters studying the reading charity BookTrust, the decibel program’s prizing of Hari Kunzru’s 2005 novel Transmission, and Spread the Word’s Complete Works Scheme for poets of colour. ii Acknowledgements The devotion of many family members, friends and loved ones has combined to form an invaluable support system throughout my time in university and while writing this dissertation.

  • Poetry Festival
    heaf Poetry Festival Contemporary poetry for Sheffield Films Performances Readings Walks Workshops 17–26 May 2019 www.sheafpoetryfestival.com Welcome Welcome to Sheaf Poetry Festival, a new poetry festival for Sheffi eld and nearby. We’ve been working hard to programme a vibrant combination of poetry, spoken word and cross-disciplinary events for all poetry lovers to enjoy, and a friendly festival atmosphere in which that can happen, and we want to make you all feel as welcome as possible. We’ve previously been Sheffi eld Poetry Festival and South Yorkshire Poetry Festival, and we’re really proud of what we’ve already achieved. As Sheaf Poetry Festival, our mission is to keep on bringing world-class poetry to Sheffi eld and to share inspiring, exciting voices with our audiences. This is the fi rst year we’ve had a poet-in-residence and a young poet-in-residence as part of the festival, and it has been great to give this opportunity to two poets. Mark Pajak and Georgie Woodhead will be on hand at our launch event. Mark has brought a poetry ghost walk and a collaboration with the National Videogame Museum to our programme so do look out for those! The festival is spread over nine days, commencing on Friday 17 May with our festival launch event. The weekend will consist of a packed programme of readings, performances and workshops, and the following week includes an assortment of evening events, including Tuesday’s Festival of Debate special with Roger McGough at the Abbeydale Picture House. We’ll be closing the festival on Saturday 25 May with one of Longbarrow Press’s famous Sheffi eld poetry walks and a poetry fi lm night with Elephant’s Footprint.

  • “Cosmology, Masculinity and Mental Health Take Centre Stage at Africa Writes 2019”
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 23 May 2019 “Cosmology, Masculinity and Mental Health take centre stage at Africa Writes 2019” Africa Writes, the UK’s biggest celebration of contemporary African writing brought to you by the Royal African Society, returns to The British Library from Friday 5 July to Sunday 7 July 2019 featuring three headline events and a packed festival weekend. Bringing together over 60 of the most influential African writers and thought leaders, this 8th festival edition covers over 20 countries and explores a cross-section of themes and critical ideas about African literature today. Following on from the likes of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Ngugi wa Thiong’o, previous festival headliners, Man Booker shortlisted author Chigozie Obioma will headline this year’s Africa Writes. Closing the festival on Sunday, 7 July, Obioma will talk about his writing, Igbo cosmology and the blurred lines between myth and reality in his latest novel An Orchestra of Minorities. The event will open with an evocative staged reading of Obioma’s critically acclaimed debut novel, The Fishermen, followed by an in-conversation led by award-winning author and curator Irenosen Okojie. Chigozie Obioma says: “I'm really excited to be a part of this celebration of the written word and to be in company of a cohort of writers from Africa. I'm certain those three days will be like being at a concert in Lagos while in London.” Africa Writes 2019 will open on Friday, 5 July, with Our Bodies Speak Poetry, an evening of intergenerational poetry, story-telling and performance exploring the body as a site of power, possibilities and resistance.
