Talk by poetry editor David Holliday
Hi all,
For those of you who are not on the mailing list for Nottingham Poetry Society I thought I would let you know what's coming up this weekend.
This weekend Saturday 26th March, 2-4pm, at Canalhouse, 48-52 Canal Street, Nottingham NG1 7EH, we will have our inaugural David Holliday lecture – delayed by two years because of the pandemic.
We are so pleased to announce the inaugural Nottingham Poetry Society David Holliday Lecture. We intend this to be an annual event and our speaker this year is David Holliday himself. David will be talking about his life in poetry and magazine editing. He edited the literary magazine Deuce (1957-60) along with Eric Hermes; was on the editorial board of Envoi (1958-60); and was editor of poetry quarterlies Scrip (1961-73) and Iota (1988-2002). It will be fascinating to hear about his insights into the literary world. David has a long association with us at Nottingham Poetry Society and we are immensely grateful for all he has done for us over the years – he has been Secretary, Chair and President at various times. David’s manifest support for and love of poetry will make for an interesting and informative lecture.
