Verse memoir: the nexus between f AMily history and poetry.
Jean Kent and Magdalena Ball have both released narrative verse memoirs this year. Jean’s The Shadow Box was inspired by the experiences of her maternal grandparents, George and Jean C AMpbell, during and shortly after World War I and Magdalena Ball’s Bobish explores the experiences of her great-grandmother Rebecca Lieberman, who migrated from the Eastern Europe to the United States in 1907 and through two world wars.
F AMily history is a volatile and uncertain thing. There are many different sides/experiences to every story and if you begin to ask questions, conflicting narratives. In spite of the complexity, there is something so compelling about delving deep into these stories – we find out so much more than the personal charm of these lives—there are the grand narratives of war and diaspora that are both fascinating from an historical context and also intensely resonant for a modern audience – so much has changed and yet so little has--what makes us fragile, beautiful and tragic as a species feels timeless.
Both books use the artefacts—letters, census documents and imagination to create a f AMily history which is as rooted in a modern sensibility as it is an historical revitalisation. The two of them will read from and talk about their work and the many correspondences and the way that poetry is the perfect medium for history.
Learn the basics of watercolour painting by creating a still life floral composition. Visual artist Lauren Beasley will guide you through basic brush techniques, colour mixing and layered effects to depict your unique artwork. All materials supplied. No previous experience required.
