Poetry group Octavia respond to Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale in an evening of spoken word.
Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale remains one of the most seminal dystopian fictions of the 20th century. Focusing on the subjugation of women, this novel has sparked generations of writing about women and the future.
Octavia is a poetry group of women of colour, led by Rachel Long. The group explores issues of intersectionality, sexuality, and the representation of women of colour.
