Hosting the reading will be Paul Stephenson, joining Rebecca to discuss the new work. The book launch takes place on Facebook at 7pm on Wednesday, 8 July 2020.
Audience members will have the opportunity to ask their own questions. We will also be showing extracts of the text during the reading so that you can read along. Make sure to register so Carcanet know you can make it by joining the Facebook event.
