National Poetry Day with Gaia Holmes
This event on 3rd October 2013 at 14:30 has past.

On National Poetry Day, Yorkshire poet Gaia Holmes will be reading from her recently published collection 'Lifting the Piano with One Hand' at Bury Library. There will be an opportunity to purchase a copy and have it signed afterwards.
The poetry of Gaia Holmes delves deep beneath the urban and the quotidian to reveal a strange and exotic other-life. This, her much-anticipated second collection, champions the survivor and celebrates the indomitability of the self, measuring at each turn the cost suffered against the hope retained, the loss still felt against the new-found strength of starting afresh.
'More like incantation or witchcraft – these poems are spells. They shine like stars – tiny but brilliant.’
– Sara Maitland
