GOBS Collective invites you to chat and scribble your heart away at our Poetry Book Club, hosted in Nottingham Central Library and via Zoom. GOBS Poetry Book Club provides a space for poets, writers, readers, performers, and artists to meet over a cuppa, and have a good chinwag over our poetry collection of the month. For the first half of the session we’ll talk about the book, and in the second half we’ll do some focussed writing exercises based on our favourite poems. It’s preferable that you read the book before you come along, but if you don’t get chance and fancy heading down anyway just pop along and there’s sure to be something for you to say, listen to, or write. No judgement. Adam Kammerling – Seder This innovative debut collection from Adam Kammerling is an archival and deft account of a person reckoning with their heritage and family history. Hybrid, dexterous and informed, Kammerling retraces his Jewish ancestry as poems fluctuate through time and space, leaving us with a forbidding sense that what has changed over recent decades is not enough. ‘To say that Seder is a beautiful, moving book would be true. But what does it mean? It means Seder is a book of very lyric poems where silences say as much as words do. It is a book of grief, that opens the grief up — no, blows it up — from the inside. Seder is a book of memory, the kind that refuses to leave us: a book wherein historical trauma is all too real, echoing our own present moment — echoing with a warning. And, yet, there is also tenderness, there is “love showing me the ground where I could lie down.” Indeed, a beautiful lyric collection.’ — Ilya Kaminsky _________________________________________ When: Saturday 22 November, 11am-1pm Get a 15% discount on this book at Five Leavesby using the code GOBS GOBS Poetry Book Club is also available to attend via Zoom.
