the87press & Housmans Bookshop present Hummingbirds 3.0: a literary salon with Karenjit Sandhu and Kiran Bath
Hummingbirds is a new literary salon series from the87press, designed to celebrate poetry and place different poets in discussion. The hummingbird is a surrealist motif that symbolises love and dialogue, something which we wish to foster further within poetry and literature. Each salon event offers an intimate space for live poetry readings and discussion.
Hummingbirds 3.0 brings together two writers from the Punjabi diaspora, Karenjit Sandhu and Kiran Bath (making a special visit from the US). In celebration of Karenjit’s and Kiran’s debut collections of poetry, this reading will celebrate diaspora as a space for feminist politics, intersectionality, performance on and off the page. Each poet will read and be in conversation, chaired by director of the87press, Azad Ashim Sharma.
