Grist Poets
Monday 7th May 2012.
Writing poetry can sometimes feel like a complicated way of being ignored: C J Allen

A Complicated way of being ignored is the latest anthology featuring the winners of this years Grist Poetry prize. The anthology features established and emerging writers. This month we've rounded up a selection of the authors published in this collection, and they'll be coming to read their poetry.

Group readings are always a rambunctious affair at the Puzzle Hall, so we're very excited to welcome the Grist Poetry Writers of 2012 to the Puzzle Hall this coming Monday.

Entry: donation to the hat

Time: 7.30pm for guest at 8pm

The Puzzle Hall Inn, in God's own country of Pennine West Yorkshire, is full of character, and full of characters in the adjoining bar. But Sowerby Bridge's Puzzle Poets, aided by the mic, gave as good as they got on Monday night in terms of noise - and delivered high-quality poetry, too. Guest poet Ralph Dartford read from his new collection Cigarettes, Beer and Love, and gave us two football poems as well, and spoke of his pride at being named poet-in-residence of Ossett Town FC. John Foggin maintained the Ossett connection and contributed some masterly poems from his sequence of childhood recollections; David Lindsay delivered a fevered account of some right carryings on at Luddenden Foot; other contributors included Spoken Weird's Genevieve Walsh. Write Out Loud's Julian Jordon and Greg Freeman added their twopennworth, and with Freda Davis presiding serenely over proceedings, it was no puzzle why this was a very satisfying poetry night.

Hello, I didn't notice the comment section had been added to our gig. That's good. Look forward to a few more WOL visitors. This month's guest sounds worth a trip.

Hi Alexandros, Michael does sometimes read at The Puzzle (And has been a past guest) but I am not in regular contact with him. As I suspect you know, his work and the delivery of it are spellbinding. Win
