Pembroke College is hosting a poetry reading with Vona Groarke and Jamie McKendrick
Wednesday 7 May 2025 6.30pm
Old Library, Pembroke College, Cambridge
Vona Groarke will share poems from her new collection, Infinity Pool (May 2025), while Jamie McKendrick will read from his 2024 collection, Drypoint (Faber).
No booking required. The reading will be followed by a wine reception.
Infinity Pool, Vona Groarke’s ninth poetry collection and fifteenth book, tests the limits of spaces poems make for themselves. In language precise, luminous and spry, these poems write into the point where anything might slip into something else — the Atlantic become an actor; a luggage carousel be a reckoning; a poem nudge itself gently over its own fourth wall.
