About this Event
It appears that psychoanalysis is having a bit of a moment in the literary spotlight. Arguably, it's always been there, but it does make sense that the impulse to dissect our inner workings would emerge in times of crisis, and these are times of irrefutable and unrelenting crises. While writing there is sometimes the sense that we are tapping into something deep within ourselves; latent drives or unconscious yearnings. We have wormed our way into the recesses of the mind and have returned with more than we bargained for. Join us in celebrating The Psychoanalysis Season with a special series of readings and poetry performances.
On the evening, we will also be selling the latest issue of Novembre, featuring a Worms takeover that includes writer and theorist McKenzie Wark, legendary poet CAConrad, artist and writer Sophia Giovannitti, a powerful poem by Fariha Róisín, and an essay by Oluwatobiloba Ajayi on poet and writer Dionne Brand. Alongside this special release we bring back our cult classic, ‘WRITING for PLEASURE! WORMS loves WASTE’ t-shirts in a new grey and pink colourway.
