<h2><strong>The Poetry Society Annual Lecture / University of Liverpool Allott Lecture</strong></h2>
The Poetry Society is delighted to announce that multi-award-winning poet Don Mee Choi will be making a rare visit to the UK to give the 2024 Poetry Society Annual Lecture.

This is the latest event in the prestigious Kenneth Allott / Poetry Society Annual Lecture series commissioned in collaboration with the Department of English, University of Liverpool. Each year, the series introduces one of the leading voices in international poetry to share a new lecture, accompanied by a short performance of their poems.

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Don Mee Choi is a highly innovative writer. Her work slips between forms, mixing poetry, lyric essay, memoir, and visual image. Incorporating archives, photographs and fragments of memory, Choi’s poetry explores historical events and the human impact of war. Her books include <em>DMZ Colony</em>, which won the 2020 National Book Award for Poetry, <em>The Morning News Is Exciting</em>, and <em>Mirror Nation, </em>which is forthcoming from Wave Books in 2024. Her translations into English of Kim Hyesoon include <em>Autobiography of Death</em> which received the 2018 International Griffin Poetry Prize.

The Poetry Society’s Annual Lecture Series has been proud to commission many of the most influential voices in international poetry. Poets who have given earlier lectures include Ilya Kaminsky, Anne Carson, Valzhyna Mort, Les Murray, Eavan Boland, C K Williams, Rita Dove, Terrance Hayes, Paul Muldoon, and Charles Simic.

<strong>This is an online version of the in-person event at the Tung Auditorium. Tickets for the in-person event are now available via the Tung Auditorium. <a href="https://thetungauditorium.com/events/allott-poetry-society-annual-lecture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Details can be found here</a>
