I'LL SHOW YOU MINE: A SEX WRITING SYMPOSIUM on Thursday 6th June 2019
I'll Show You Mine: A Sex Writing Symposium began as a desire to have a conversation about the role of sex and sexuality in literature. We wish to interrogate the culture of sex writing, host discussions around gender, representation, transgression and explore ideas of shame, obscenity and censorship. Bringing together some of our most exciting writers and thinkers, I'll Show You Mine seeks to give voice to those things we think late at night while buried in books, ask those difficult questions, satiate appetites.
Featuring:
Monique Roffey - Author of Tryst and With The Kisses Of His Mouth
Jonathan Kemp - Author of London Triptych and The Penetrated Male
Rachel Connor - Author of Sisterwives
Rachel Long - Poet and found of Octavia Collective
Kate Moorhead - Author of The First Law of Motion
