For the first half of the session we’ll talk about the book, and in the second half we’ll do some focussed writing exercises based on our favourite poems.It’s preferable that you read the book before you come along, but if you don’t get chance and fancy heading down anyway, just pop along and there’s sure to be something for you to say, listen to, or write. No judgement.February 2026’s Book:Adam Kammerling – SederThis innovative debut collection from Adam Kammerling is an archival and deft account of a person reckoning with their heritage and family history. Hybrid, dexterous and informed, Kammerling retraces his Jewish ancestry as poems fluctuate through time and space, leaving us with a forbidding sense that what has changed over recent decades is not enough. ‘To say that Seder is a beautiful, moving book would be true. But what does it mean? It means Seder is a book of very lyric poems where silences say as much as words do. It is a book of grief, that opens the grief up — no, blows it up — from the inside. Seder is a book of memory, the kind that refuses to leave us: a book wherein historical trauma is all too real, echoing our own present moment — echoing with a warning. And, yet, there is also tenderness, there is “love showing me the ground where I could lie down.” Indeed, a beautiful lyric collection.’ — Ilya KaminskyGet a 15% discount on this book at by using the code GOBSGOBS Poetry Book Club is also available to attend via Zoom.Please note we have limited places available both in-person and online, so booking is essential.GOBS Poetry Book Club is Pay What You Can (Suggested donation: £5)When: Saturday 21 February, 11am-1pmWhere: Nottingham Central Library (Meeting Room 2), 1 Carrington Street, Nottingham, England, NG1 7FHWho: Hosted by Bridie SquiresAny enquiries can be directed to Bridie at info@gobscollective.orgAt previous events, we've looked at:Caleb Femi – PoorTolu Agbelusi – Locating StrongwomanCaroline Bird – The Air YearElla Frears – I am the Mother CatKae Tempest – Running Upon the WiresRoger Robinson – A Portable ParadiseMalika Booker, Sharon Olds & Warsan Shire – Your Family, Your Body (Modern Poets Three)Inua Ellams – The ActualCecilia Knapp – Peach PigYomi Sode – ManorismsWill Harris – RendangAnthony Anaxagorou – Heritage AestheticsHannah Lowe – ChickWarsan Shire – Blessed is the Daughter Raised by a Voice in her HeadGboyega Odubanjo – AdamBrian Bilston – Alexa, what is there to know about love?Amy Acre – MothersongAmanda Gorman – Call Us What We CarryTed Kooser and Connie Wanek – Marshmallow CloudsVanessa Kisuule - A Recipe for SorceryMakalani Bandele - (jopappy and the sentence-makers are) eponymous as funk - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/nottingham/gobs-poetry-book-club-adam-kammerlings-seder/100001980120673237 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, performances, meetups, entertainment, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Nottingham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Nottingham Central Library - **lat**: 52.94952009999999 - **long**: -1.1478175 - **full address**: Nottingham Central Library, 1 Carrington Street, Nottingham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: GOBS Poetry Book Club: Adam Kammerling's Seder - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/f7457abd292f89ea86c511b796596bfba8159210e9ec48f88063d0b87b95d676-rimg-w1172-h687-dceadac0-gmir.jpg?v=1768344862 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is GOBS Poetry Book Club: Adam Kammerling's Seder being held?
