There are two Susan Howe & David Grubbs events in London next week
(note that they will not be performing at BBK - the BBK event is a seminar):

Susan Howe and David Grubbs Seminar @ BBK (Wed 7th Oct)

Birkbeck College, B35 Birkbeck Main Building, Torrington Square, London WC1
Wednesday 7th October, 3-5 pm.

Susan Howe and David Grubbs will speak about the ideas that have nourished their collaboration as poet and musician. Howe and Grubbs have released two CDs, Thiefth (2005) and Souls of the Labadie Tract (2006), works which take the encounter between poetry and music into new territory. Each will speak for around 25 minutes and the second hour will be devoted to questions and discussion.

Susan Howe and David Grubbs Performance @ the South Bank Centre (Thurs 8th Oct)

Purcell Room, South Bank Centre
Thursday 8 October 2009, 7.45pm
£10.00 (some concession tickets also available)

"Howe and Grubbs take the encounter between poetry and sound into entirely new territory. They will perform separately and together."

Susan Howe’s explorations of American history and letters place her in a line that runs from Emily Dickinson through Wallace Stevens to the frontiers of 21st-century lyric. She is for the remainder of the year an Anna-Maria Kellen Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. David Grubbs is a former member of the post-rock group Gastr Del Sol whose subsequent career is notable both for his acclaimed solo releases and his collaborations with artists and writers.

Presented jointly by the Poetics Research Group at Royal Holloway, University of London and Birkbeck Contemporary Poetics Research Centre.

Their appearances in London are supported by the Humanities and Arts Research Centre, the Faculty of Arts and the English Department at Royal Holloway, University of London, and Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities.

They will also perform in Cambridge on 9 October (details to be publicised separately).
