\n

An exciting new literary salon arrives in the capital in 2015, offering Londoners the opportunity to hear their favourite writers and be part of a growing trend in book readings with a difference. Produced by award-winning arts producer Penned in the Margins, London Quarterly<\/strong> will feature celebrated novelists, cult poets and rising stars of the spoken word scene in four beautifully curated evenings, starting in April.<\/h2>\n

London Quarterly is coming to Camden Town music venue The Forge, known for its gorgeous acoustic and a \u2018living wall\u2019 of plants designed by Katharine Bradburn. Each event introduces four authors, who will read from their work and give audiences a chance to quiz them on their writing practice and subject matter: from hawks to London history, from outcasts to edgelands.<\/p>\n

The first instalment (14 April) is headlined by legendary poet, novelist and filmmaker Iain Sinclair<\/strong>, who is joined by experimental writer and artist Heather Phillipson<\/strong>, poet Chimene Suleyman<\/strong> and author of London’s Lost Rivers<\/em> and The Vanished City<\/em> Tom Bolton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Organiser Tom Chivers compares London Quarterly to “a live version of your favourite literary journal” and promises the series will bring a mix of fresh, contemporary writing together with “the time-honoured idea of listening to someone read stories and poems for you”. Writers confirmed for the rest of the year include Helen MacDonald<\/strong>, whose memoir H is for Hawk<\/em> won the Samuel Johnson prize, Forward Prize-winning poet Kei Miller<\/strong>, and author of the bestselling novel Submarine<\/em> Joe Dunthorne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
