Welcome to the event, 'A Queer Glow from the Book Lantern'! Join us at the Taylor Institution Library for a very special evening with Selby Wynn Schwartz, author of After Sappho. In one of her earliest journals, the young Virginia Woolf wrote of “the lantern bearer... who lights the paths fitfully.” Casting light through writing is a queer, fitful re-illumination: the past is more radiant; perhaps some pages even shine into the future. This talk honors a set of contemporary projects of queer literary lantern-bearing, spotlighting some shapes that queer kinships might trace among writers and readers now. It takes inspiration from the lantern kept on the tomb of Natalie Barney by Suzette Robichon and Suzanne Stroh—an otherwise ordinary garden lantern, but one which holds an evolving set of books that burnish a lesbian lineage. This book lantern suggests that queer kinship could look like an ever-changing library, or a prismatic translation practice, or a curation of objects reflecting across time. In the spirit of that book lantern, the talk will illuminate a few current literary, artistic, and activist projects that themselves shine light on non-lineal, non-linear, luminously queer conjoinings of texts. Followed by a Q&A and a drinks reception. This event is organised by the Queer Kinship Network.

Bridge of Sighs

陌染MM

The Bridge of Sighs (Oxford University, UK) is officially called Hertford Bridge. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. The construction of the Bridge of Sighs began in 1913 (completed in 1914). It crosses New College Road and connects the old and new parts of Hertford College. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. It was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. Because the bridge is similar to the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, it is called the Bridge of Sighs. I came to Oxford University with a tour group and could only take a quick look.
