THREE WORPLE POETS

Join Worple Press and Senate House Poets in the Library
to celebrate the launch of three new poetry collections

Stephen Boyce lives in Hampshire and works as an advisor to arts and heritage bodies... His collection Desire Lines was described by Katherine Gallagher as 'intelligent, sophisticated, formally assured... a truly exciting new voice'. Stephen will be reading from his new collection The Sisyphus Dog (Worple Press, 2014).

Sally Flint grew up in the West Midlands and now lives in Exeter. Her poetry and prose have been widely published, anthologised and won awards... Luke Kennard writes of her debut collection Pieces of Us, 'This is refreshing, hard won poet-ry. Pieces of Us is the result of a discipline and a winnowing which gives us the object, the gesture, the image that condenses a novel into a stanza. Essential.'

Mary Woodward was born in Hammersmith to Irish and Welsh parents. She has an English degree and a Master's degree for research on William Morris's early poetry from the University of Liverpool... Her first collection of poetry The White Valentine is published by Worple Press this February.

PLUS A READING FROM

It Never Gets Dark All Night was first published by Heinemann in 1964 on a list that included Anthony's Burgess's Nothing Like the Sun and Chinua Achebe's Arrow of Gold. Worple are proud to put it back on the literary map, here prefaced and edited by Peter Carpenter, literary editor to the Hayward's estate, and fronted with 'All The Devils Are Here', a brilliant introductory essay from celebrated polymath Kevin Jackson.
