The launch of dismantle by Anne Tannam
Salmon Poetry, in association with the Linenhall Arts Centre invites you to celebrate the launch of a new collection of poetry, 'dismantle' by Anne Tannam. With guest speaker Alice Kinsella, followed by an Open Mic for everyone. dismantle is a moving excavation of what it means to be a woman in the world today. Peeling back layers of meaning with precision, Tannam brings us a wild underworld of lost children, mothers and crones, each imbued with a fierce agency often denied them in the old myths. Formally and linguistically virtuosic, dismantle is both an exquisite undoing, and a call to explore the wide world.’ Jessica Traynor, Author of Pit Lullabies. Anne Tannam is the award winning author of four poetry collections: Take This Life (Wordonthestreet 2011), Tides Shifting Across My Sitting Room Floor (Salmon 2017), Twenty-six Letters of a New Alphabet (2021) and dismantle (2024).
