At Play with the Demon Crew

Posted on | October 10, 2011 | No Comments

Last Thursday, on National Poetry day, we celebrated with an evening of wine, snacks and poetry. The National Poetry Day event has become a traditional date in the Demon Crew camera, kicking off the new term in the fashion we mean to go on, with poetry and mischief.

Thanks to all who came along to read and to listen. It was wonderful to hear the variety of readings: from some of our new undergraduate and postgraduate students; from some old-hands; from our new dean of faculty Gerard Moran; and from some visitors to DMU who came along for the ride.

The theme of national poetry day for 2011 was “play”, and the poems explored all kinds of play, from the light-hearted, to the disturbing, to the downright subversive. Those with the stamina went on to for further National Poetry Day fun at Word!, Leicester’s spoken word poetry night.
