The Sylvia Plath Symposium will kick off with a free talk by Kristina Zimbakova at 1.15pm tomorrow, about her paintings inspired by Sylvia Plath.

There will be a number of speakers during the event, which goes on until Monday, October 29, and will be held at Rhodes House, South Parks Road. Day passes cost £30 or £15 for students.
