Launching Origins of the Fire Emoji: Focus on Dead Women Poets

Follow this link to join us from 7pm GMT on 30 October 2020. 

This summer, Dead [Women] Poets Society guest-edited Modern Poetry in Translation, with a focus on dead women poets. We are so excited to be launching this unique issue, titled Origins of the Fire Emoji 🔥 The poets featured in the issue span four millennia and several continents - you'll find poems in here that make you laugh out loud and poems that will move you deeply. The brilliant thing about MPT is that each poet is introduced by the translator, meaning that each of these dead women poets is 'resurrected' in some way. We can't wait to share the issue with you.

We’ll be streaming live from MPT's YouTube channel from 7pm GMT 30 October 2020, where MPT Editor Clare Pollard will be joined remotely by Dead [Women] Poets Society's Helen Bowell and Jasmine Simms. We'll welcome…
