Celebrating the remarkable writing life of poet Niall McDevitt on the moment of the posthumous publication of his London Nation masterwork. Friends and associates Tam Dean Burn, Heathcote Ruthven, Alan Cox, Julie Goldsmith and Jay Detrice share readings and reflections, hosted by presenter Nick McCluskey.
Niall McDevitt (1967–2022) was the author of poetry collections b/w, Porterloo, Firing Slits, Jerusalem Colportage and the four-part, linguistically-shapeshifting London Nation which ranges from Jerusalem to London via Babylon. He was well known for his ‘poetopographical’ walks on Blake, Rimbaud, Chaucer, Emilia Lanyer and many others.
