And here’s a last reminder that Jason Allen-Paisant<\/strong>,\u00a0winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize 2023, will be giving a celebratory reading at Cheltenham Literature Festival tomorrow afternoon, 3:30pm, Friday 11 October. Self-Portrait as Othello<\/em> was described by the judges as \u2018a book with large ambitions that are met with great imaginative capacity, freshness and technical flair. As the title would suggest, the poetry is delivered with theatricality and in a range of voices and registers, across geographies and eras.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jason will be joined by another brilliant performer, Eve Esfandiari-Denney<\/strong> \u2013 who has been shortlisted for the 2024 Forward Prizes\u2019 Jerwood Prize for Best Single Poem \u2013 Performed. To book, visit the Cheltenham Literature Festival box office<\/a>.<\/p>\n
