Wasafiri, the Magazine of International Contemporary Writing, is delighted to launch its one-off student issue, New Generations, at Keats House as part of our 30th anniversary celebrations this year. Join acclaimed poet Daljit Nagra and some of the UK’s best writers reading alongside London’s brightest new voices. Over six months from October 2013 in conjunction with Eastside Educational Trust,Wasafiri ran an exciting writing and publishing project with four schools around London. Now, three of the brilliant mentoring writers, Jay Bernard, Bobby Nayyar and Shazea Quraishi, will join some of these budding young authors on stage to read for one night only. Also appearing is Christie Watson, whose fiction excerpt ‘Basketball Player’ featured in Wasafiri in 2009 and formed the basis of her Costa First Novel Prize-winning Tiny Sunbirds Far Away. The evening will be introduced and hosted by Keats House Writer-in-Residence Daljit Nagra, who was first published in Wasafiri as a new poet in 2002
