The Birkbeck Scribblers - Inaugural Event - 27 November 2011 - Richard Hamblyn and Jonathan Kemp

In my second year of the course at Birkbeck, I got heavily involved in a new literary group that ran reading evenings.  It became known as The Birkbeck Scribblers.  We invited submissions from across the Creative Writing BA and High Certificate courses then selected poetry and short fiction to be read at our live events.  

Here's me compering the inaugural event held at The College Arms pub close to Birkbeck

with guest readers, Richard Hamblyn 

and Jonathan Kemp.
