[Reading group] ...have ...word reading group #3

…have …word reading group is back for its third series. You’re warmly invited to join us every second Sunday 12h-14h00 from October 6 to December 15 2024. Kathy Acker once wrote “Language pre-supposes community. Therefore without you, nothing I say has any meaning.” In this reading group we look to language as a site of relation and communion. Following on from our previous series we question what it means to have, to hold, to let go and to be transformed by language.
