Re-launch of the Centre for Poetic Innovation Readings to mark the new collaboration between the Schools of English and Modern Languages

These poetry readings mark the new collaboration between the School of English and of Modern Languages. This event will feature readings from Jennifer Soong, Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Denver.

Jennifer Soong's recent books of poetry include My Earliest Person (The Last Books, 2025), Comeback Death (Krupskaya, 2024) and Suede Mantis / Soft Rage (Black Sun Lit, 2022). In addition to her poetry, she has published essays in critical inquiry, modernism and modernity and post45, among others.

In 2025, the University of Chicago Press published her monograph Slips of the Mind: Poetry as Forgetting, which explores the relationship between poetic composition in the twentieth century and forms of non-remembrance.
