Breaking news is that @evegrubin has just passed her viva! Many, many congratulations to Dr Grubin! Mazal tov! As Dr Grubin’s thesis is about the poetics of reticence, I will say that our household is not lacking in excitement at this development. @KUHumanities @KingstonUni

Congratulations to Dr Eve Grubin who successfully passed her Creative Writing Viva this morning "Boat of Letters and the Poetics of Reticence" which the examiners called "fascinating" and "ambitious" work! @evegrubin
