- **Event Description**: Come and celebrate the launch of Folkish, Kym Deyn’s debut poetry collection. With readings by Illisha Thiru Purcel and Molly Knox.About this EventA free event to celebrate the launch of Folkish by Kym Deyn, which is now a Poetry Book Society Summer Reccomendation. With additional readings by award-winning writers Ilisha Thiru Purcell and Molly Knox.Folkish is a trickster figure masquerading as a poetry collection.Full of ghosts, worms, saints, and folklore, Folkish is playful, spirited and absolutely furious – moving between the alive, the legendary and the haunted in endlessly inventive forms.'Queer and disconcerting, Kym Deyn’s debut is chock-full with poems which tear at both the heart and the guts. They inhabit a world where dark eyes scour graveyards for breakfast and saints are as likely to spit as to pray. This is poetry as hauntology, where England’s North is alive with untrustworthy and beguiling pasts, presents, and futures. Folkish is a glorious exhibition of witchy play and wit, where the Devil prowls and Deyn never fails to answer back.' - Rachel Mann'As the title suggests, Kym Deyn’s Folkish, is good-old-fashioned-up-to-the-minute fun, spinning truthful tales both old and new with twists of feint to impress, seduce and transform.' - Kimberly Campanello'Bold, inventive, sardonic. Ripe with scavenger gods, local saints and legends, Folkish scours the land and throws everything into its spellbag, shaking it hard: Leafy elms and hedgehog paté; kittiwakes and ugly new builds; glowflies dancing in the wood.' - Richard Skelton
