In Channelling Queer Depths: An Evening with Poet Shivanee Ramlochan, Shivanee gave readings from her ground-breaking collection Everyone Knows I am a Haunting (2017), followed by a conversation with PhD queer literary researcher, Tom Lockwood-Moran. A particular point of interest is Shivanee’s upcoming work of creative non-fiction, Unkillable (2023), centring how a writer channels their queer self through dangerous, unorthodox and taboo subjects. This event explores how and why poetry chisels beneath the world's surface to expose queer depths, particularly informed by Shivanee's experience of Trinidadian cultures and subcultures.
