Queerly Beloved

Join us for a lively conversation celebrating Queer literature. Chaired by Kirsty Logan, the panel, including Sanah Ahsan, Cailean Steed, Jackie Kay and Barry Pierce share books (from overtly Queer, to between-the-lines) that have defined them as writers, the stories they wish they could have read sooner, and their thoughts on representation and inclusivity in the current literary landscape. What does it mean to each of them being a Queer writer working today?
