Event information

DAVID BRIGGS has published four collections. The Method Men (2010) was shortlisted for the London Festival Poetry Prize, and Rain Rider (2013) was a winter selection of the PBS. His third book — Cracked Skull Cinema (2019), a Poetry Wales pick of the year — took him on a reading tour ranging from a Festival of Death and Dying in Somerset to the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh, from Serbia to the Suffolk coast. David received an Eric Gregory Award in 2002 and has appeared in journals and anthologies from The Poetry Review to the generational anthology edited by Roddy Lumsden, Identity Parade (Bloodaxe, 2010). He was poet-in- residence at Bristol University and, from 2019-2023, co-editor of the Bristol-based journal Raceme. In 2023 he also completed his practice-based PhD at the University of Exeter. Davids fourth book, The Odyssey Complex and Other Poems, offers a midlife counterpart to the neuroses of youth, exploring themes of family ties, nostalgia, mortality, acts of memorial, and the impulse towards hospitality.
