Diptych I – Poetry pamphlet launch

Diptych I – Poetry pamphlet launch

Join us for the Edinburgh launch of Diptych I, the first dual poetry pamphlet from Oblique House — an independent press based in London.

Nasim Luczaj will read from Ultraviolet with Landing Marks which grapples with the untraversable distance between mind and mind by taking inspiration from the letters American painter Georgia O’Keeffe wrote to her husband Alfred Stieglitz.

Roberto Salvador Cenciarelli will read from How to Repair an Echo, a queer retelling of the classic myth of Theseus on the Minotaur which explores what happens when a story meant to end in murder instead insists on intimacy.

The poets will be supported by guest readers: Leo Bussi, Helena Fornells Nadal, Dan Power and Zainab Imran.

Copies of Diptych I will be available on the evening.

Nasim Luczaj is the author of HIND MOUTH (Earthbound Press). She edits the magazine Wet Grain and translates between Polish and English. Her debut poetry collection, Tang, is forthcoming with Faber & Faber in 2027.

Roberto Salvador Cenciarelli is an Italian poet of Chilean descent. He won the Verve Poetry Competition 2025 and the Pat Kavanagh Prize 2025. His work was highly commended for the Forward Prize, longlisted for the National Poetry Competition and appeared on several anthologies and publications. How to Repair an Echo is his debut pamphlet.
