Culture Matters: Deleted Scenes. Kevin McCann and Dr. Fran Lock

Culture Matters are proud to introduce the first in their new series of digital poetry pamphlets, Deleted Scenes by Kevin Patrick McCann, with a virtual launch and author Q&A. An unsettling poetic riff on the 1963 film The Haunting, and the book that inspired it, The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, McCann’s poems traffic in the uncanny and the unsaid, merging moments from across the house’s long and morbid history into a single, though unstable, present. Just as Jackson’s novel is a story of frustrated passions and repressed pain, McCann’s poems also deal in the missing, the buried, the deliberately obscured. Join us online for an evening of haunting - in every sense - poetry and a compelling discussion of all things spectral. The event will feature readings from Kevin Patrick McCann + special guest (TBC), with a lively Q&A with editor, Fran Lock. We hope to see you there!
