Events

This month we have an exciting reading tour featuring Sunflowers in Your Eyes. Two of the four talented young Zimbabwean poets featured in the anthology, edited by Menna Elfyn, will be visiting to read their work and talk about writing poetry in Zimbabwe. You can catch up with Ethel Irene Kabwato and Blessing Musariri at a range of venues around Wales, including the Hay Festival, and in London, so please join us if you can. We also have launches for new titles from Sheila Hillier (A Quechua Confession Manual), Arlene Ang (Seeing Birds in Church is a Kind of Adieu) and Mark Fitzgerald (By Way of Dust and Rain) – Arlene and Mark will be travelling from Italy and the United States respectively to read with Claudia Jessop (This is the woman who) in London at the end of June; an event not to be missed. We’re also delighted to be launching Harrison Solow’s genre defying and already highly acclaimed, Felicity and Barbara Pym this month.

I spy Pinhole Eye at Hay

We’ll also be at Hay cheering on Philip Gross at the next round of the Wales Book of the Year Award – hoping that I Spy Pinhole Eye, a fantastic response of poetry to the arresting pinhole camera images of Simon Denison, makes it into the final three.

Buy I Spy Pinhole Eye for only £9 in the UK between now and August and we’ll send you a free poetry book

Or buy a copy of Adnan Mahmutović’s gripping novella, Thinner than a Hair, for the introductory special price of £5.99 and get a copy of his short story collection, [Refuge]e FREE. (due out end of March)

Written in the first person voice of Fatima, it is the story of a young woman coming of age in Bosnia: “We lived in the period of Bosnian history when even the way of being a child or the manner of falling in love was political in some way.”

Cinnamon Press Five Years Old

On top of all that, we’re continuing to celebrate our 5th birthday with a 5th anniversary competition to win a writing course plus special offers on Envoi and I Spy Pinhole Eye

This year Cinnamon Press is five years old and we’re launching the birthday celebrations with some great give away gifts and a competition to boost your writing.

Rush for your copy now.” There’s also new reduced Envoi subscription offer that comes with a free poetry collection, twenty free novels to give away, the chance of a free literary appraisal of your writing when you book a course and a fantastic competition to win a free place on a writing course this autumn.
