THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE REMEMBERS OUR WONDERFUL POET FLEUR ADCOCK

 

The Royal Society of Literature members will remember our British poet Fleur Adcock on Wednesday 19 February at the London Library. Sadly she died in November 2024, but her poetry lives on. 

Wonderful to meet her and other respected poets at an ALCS evening gathering a few years ago.  Here she is with Sir Derek Alcott and Wendy Cope at the House of Lords. We enjoyed a super evening.   

In  remembrance of Fleur, the RSL is hosting a discussion of her writing and legacy with a panel of speakers including Neil Astley, Wendy Cope and Lorraine Mariner, chaired by Rachel Long, and interspersed with recordings of the poet reading her own work. This event, developed in partnership with the London Library, will mark Adcock’s 91st birthday.
