Launches

Join Yvonne Baker & EA Griffiths for the launch of their award-winning pamphlets: Concrete Sea and Tree Light

  

The willingness to take risks with form and to push the reader’s expectations of what a poem might be make EA Griffiths’ poetry immediately distinctive. Here we find lyrical poems that are tiny, elliptical, often heart-breaking and utterly located in a sense of place, poems that open a conversaton with the concrete poems threaded through the collection. A cohesive, tightly-written debut that invites us to feel into the experiences of the poems, emerging with the sense of another’s heart-print.

From Yvonne Baker’s tentative first word (‘perhaps’) to her final phrase, realising ‘here is no journey / only attending to stones— / like a story told yet again / by an old friend’, the reader is immersed in a woodland that is alive with quiet yet profound epiphanies— the way we live and die; the way we might weave narratives that change our stories. In this liminal place, which is both a real woodland and an internal space, we learn that ‘What matters is the silence that encircles you,…’ And we find in that silence a liturgy of the natural world we too often forget we are part of.

The event will begin at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday March 23 and will include a Q&A session with the online audience after the reading.

We’re asking you to register so that we can manage the online space and there’s a small registration fee of £2 which you can offset by using the discount code to buy the pamphlets, available at the launch.

You can register here and we look forward to seeing you.

 

Join Mark Charlton for the launch of Views from the Bike Shed

For Mark Charlton, blogging is ‘a road of chance and discovery’, one which has shaped the person he’s become; a journey that is ‘happenstance on acid.’

In Views from the Bike Shed he not only shares a selection of engaging, articulate and deeply-felt posts from the eponymous blog, but also charts his praxis as a writer. Advocating for blogging as a process and form that deserves serious attention

The event will begin at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday March 30 and will include a Q&A session with the online audience after the reading.

We’re asking you to register so that we can manage the online space and there’s a small registration fee of £2 which you can offset by using the discount code to buy the pamphlets, available at the launch.

Join Patricia Helen Wooldridge for the launch of Out in the Field

Out in the Field immerses us deeply in a compulsion to be outside—here we draw inspiration from landscape, birds, weather; here we step outside ourselves, and allow our perspective to shift…

A maven of attention, Wooldridge’s acute reflections make each seasonal shift fresh, each creature and plant precious and beautiful, each encounter with the natural environment unexpected. And, as we open ourselves to this world through these poems, our humanity and passion for this ailing and extraordinary planet can only be enlarged, compelling the reader in turn out into the field.

The event will begin at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday April 13 and will include a Q&A session with the online audience after the reading.

We’re asking you to register so that we can manage the online space and there’s a small registration fee of £2 which you can offset by using the discount code to buy the pamphlets, available at the launch.

Join Jan Fortune for the launch of The Messenger of the Ground

Two years after the events of The Standing Ground, the tiny outpost of Y Tir in North Wales becomes a refuge for those who want to live without implants; permanent links to government surveillance that are threatening to dominate people’s lives again. But can Alys, Luke and Emrys thwart the growing threats of the new tech-giants whose offers of enhanced memories and virtual lives mask the erosion of privacy and even humanity?

As new enemies threaten Y Tir’s existence there are also new allies, not least Alys’ and Luke’s daughter, Iris, who appears to have fallen out of the mists of Greek legend and into Celtic myth. Can Iris, more strange and powerful even than Myrddin Emrys, also known as Merlin, save the day for Y Tir?

A breath-taking conclusion to The Standing Ground trilogy. But does this story ever end?

When the darkness rises again, the light will return wherever people stand their ground.

The event will begin at 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday May 17 and will include a Q&A session with the online audience after the reading.

We’re asking you to register so that we can manage the online space and there’s a small registration fee of £2 which you can offset by using the discount code to buy the pamphlets, available at the launch.

You can register here for the event and we look forward to seeing you.
