Event overview
The Glen Baxter Poetry Reading Group - Spring/Summer Series 2015
The Glen Baxter Collection is 118 books and 5 ‘zines of mostly second-wave New York school poets - 60 writers in all - running from Ashbery to Zukofsky. The collection was compiled by Glen Baxter while he was working at Goldsmiths as a lecturer in the 1970s.
The reading group is open to everyone, is free and requires no specialist knowledge. All you have to do is visit http://baxterreadinggroup.tumblr.com/ to find out how to access the texts.
At each meeting we will read extracts from the texts aloud, look at the books themselves and have an informal discussion for around an hour in Special Collections & Archives, possibly continuing the conversation after that at a nearby pub.
