photo RST philip terry (2)Philip Terry is Director of the Centre for Creative Writing at the University of Essex.  He will be reading from recent work including his novel tapestry (2013), about the nuns who embroidered the Bayeux Tapestry; and his translation of Dante’s Inferno, which shifts the action from the twelfth to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and relocates it to the University of Essex.  The book, published in 2014, was an ‘Independent Poetry Title of the Year’.  His novel tapestry was shortlisted for the Goldsmith’s Prize in 2013. Philip addresses the importance of margins in both these works – tapestry starts from marginal images in the tapestry, while his translation of Dante was composed at first by jottings in the margins of Dante’s Inferno.
