On the eve of Halloween, join literary investigator Chris McCabe to uncover the stories of the lost poets of Nunhead Cemetery and explore the poetic mythology of south London – from Browning and Blake to Barry MacSweeney. Chris will read from his new book Cenotaph South in the semi-ruined Anglican chapel, Nunhead Cemetery, followed by drinks in a local pub. Special edition copies of Cenotaph South will be available to purchase. Dress warmly.
Free but please let us know if you’re coming as limited capacity info@pennedinthemargins.co.uk
I think of the close reading and transfixed husbandry Chris McCabe brings to his task of subtle recovery, his passage among the suburban dead. This is a fine, achieved work, close-woven, elusive, engaged.
