Poetry Reading : Richard Scott and Oluwaseun Olayiwola

The Mick Lally Theatre presents an evening of powerful poetry featuring Richard Scott and Oluwaseun Olayiwola. Richard Scott’s That Broke into Shining Crystals explores themes of trauma, injury, and intimacy, building on his acclaimed debut Soho (shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize). His work examines childhood, scars, forgotten histories, and the impact of revelation. Oluwaseun Olayiwola’s debut Strange Beach presents intimate, erotic, and philosophical poems that explore the body as a porous landscape, delving into existential struggles, family fractures, and sexual reckonings. This reading offers a unique opportunity to experience two poets navigating the complexities of language, identity, and connection.
