Mimi Khalvati at Derwent Poetry Festival
Mimi Khalvati is guest poet on Saturday night at the Derwent Poetry Festival, from 11-13 November, at Masson Mills, Matlock Bath, which celebrates the publication of new poetry titles from Templar Poetry. This year six poets are reading from their newly published collections. Clive Allen, Andrew Jamison and Christopher James read from their 2011 Templar award winning pamphlets, and the three winners of the inaugural Straid Collection awards, Kathleen Jones, Susanne Ehrhardt and Martin Malone, read from their full-length collections, alongside a commissioned first collection from Michael Woods. Alongside the readings Templar are running their first festival writing workshops on Saturday and Sunday, over three sessions, led by Paul Maddern.
