Very Kevin: A Celebration of Kevin Killian

Kevin Killian (1952-2019) last visited Glasgow to read at The Poetry Club in 2018. To celebrate his extraordinary life, work and inspiration to generations of writers, three Scottish poets are teaming up with three Bay Area poets to host an evening of Killian’s poetry along with an exclusive performance of one of his plays. There will be readings and performances from writers, artists and students and an opportunity to browse some of his publications, courtesy of Burning House Books.

Kevin Killian was an American poet, writer, editor, and playwright. He was a co-founder of the Poets Theatre performance group in San Francisco and a leading writer in the New Narrative movement. You can find out more about Kevin's life and work here.

This event is organised by Colin Herd and Nicky Melville (University of Glasgow) and Maria Sledmere (University of Strathclyde) along with visiting poets Lindsey Boldt, Andrew Kenower and Steve Orth.
