Huge congratulations to LDC lecturer @nonia_williams 🥳

Excited to be sharing details of this on #NationalPoetryDay2023 - marking the culmination of a Mellon Foundation funded project. Hope you can come!

I cannot emphasise how significant this project was - a new way of archiving work, a focus on unrepresented voices. Being on the Advisory Group for it was fascinating and informative. And I also got to reconnect with former IS&T Press poets Jay Bernard and Gail McConnell

... not to mention getting to know the other Uncollected poets joelle taylor and Anthony Vahni Capildeo along with (Visiting Poetry Fellow) Will Harris, Jeremy Noel-Tod, Justine Mann, Georgina Colby @hughespeg, Rachel Foss and the rest of the Project Team and the Advisory Group.

What an incredible project to work on! Thank you to all involved for your contributions over the last 18 months and thank you to Mellon Foundation for funding especially michael gossett 🍊 for initial encouragement.

A fascinating dive into #TheFuture ⁦UEA Live⁩ ⁦National Centre for Writing⁩ with ⁦UEA⁩ ⁦Literature@UEA⁩ alumna #NaomiAlderman. We are living through a third age of information chaos but will find a new rhythm & there are reasons to be hopeful!
