Lucy Hannah, Visiting Research Fellow at
@LifeWritingKCL @KingsAHRI, joined King's to further develop an ongoing programme for women writers in marginalised communities, where women's stories are more likely to remain hidden. Untold - Write Afghanistan is the result.

So lovely to hear Maureen Duffy reading her poems 'Wanderer' and 'Mosaic' today @LifeWritingKCL and @strandlines event. I particularly loved Liz Mathew's various 'pens' - including a peg, kebab stick, and mudlarked Thames matter. #lettering #wanderer #MaureenDuffy

[Strandlines @strandlines]

Our special feature on author and activist Maureen Duffy is waiting to be explored!

You can read pieces written by Duffy's friends and collaborators, and by researchers.

You'll also find beautiful examples of Duffy's archive held at @KingsArchives
