About this event

In this first full-length collection, Jennifer Lee Tsai explores family history, intergenerational trauma, love, loss, and belonging through the lens of a second-generation British Chinese identity. Melete weaves together dual cultures and heritages through narratives of memory, migration, and mysticism, spanning Liverpool, China, and Hong Kong. This expansive collection establishes a powerfully distinctive lyric voice in contemporary British poetry. Jennifer will be joined by fellow Bloodaxe poet and Costa Book of the Year Poetry Award winner Hannah Lowe. We are delighted to celebrate the launch of this book, which will include readings from Jennifer and Hannah, followed by a conversation with arts curator and host Marie-Anne McQuay. This event is presented in partnership with the Centre for New and International Writing, University of Liverpool. £2-£5 (£15 including book)
