Don't miss an early instalment of bibulous literary night Words on Tap next Friday (June 20th), which will feature poetry, prose and performance pieces from novelist SJ Bradley and poets David Coldwell, Kate Morgan and Karl Whiting. The FREE not-for-profit event will also include open-mic slots, and fine ales and spirits courtesy of the Chemic Tavern, Woodhouse. Doors 7.30pm. More info below and at wordsontapblog.wordpress.com.
SJ Bradley's short fiction has appeared in Untitled Books, The Honest Ulsterman, and the LS13 anthology. In 2013 she was shortlisted for the Willesden Herald short story prize and her novel, Brick Mother, is out now from Dead Ink Books. She is also the curator and organiser of Fictions of Every Kind, a non-profit literary social which aims to give support and encouragement to anybody engaged in the lonely act of writing.
David Coldwell was born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire in 1970. He now lives in the village of Marsden. David studied art, photography and media and worked as a script writer, video producer and project manager before turning to a career in public services at the start of the new millennium.
David published his first poem in 2012 and since this time has seen his poetry published in a variety of journals and magazines including: The Rialto, Ariadne’s Thread, Ink, Sweat and Tears, Elbow Room, Butcher’s Dog, Eunoia Review and Open Mouse. He continues to paint, mainly landscapes in oils, and is also a poetry reviewer for Write Out Loud.
Kate Morgan is a 24-year-old PhD student and writer. She is really interested in gender, sexuality, power dynamics and the construction of self, but with a personal emphasis on doing that through storytelling. She lives in Leeds with her cat Tolkien and copious amounts of tea.
Karl Whiting performs under various aliases, solo and with various bands and collaborators. Plagued by mental health issues since teens, notorious for performing live, no two performances the same, can sometimes be found performing in Manchester, although recently taken to the stage performing alone.
He used to be described as a cross between John Cooper Clarke and GG Allen without the shit.
A D.I.Y. ZINE enthusiast has promoted live music, made magazines previously and continues to do so now with thejunkyardprocession.
“Albeit having a very ambiguous title, Wicked Hearts Swell Within Triumph is a short, but very enjoyable glimpse into the world of Yorkshire poet Karl Whiting. Going by the pseudonym Larkdrewhand, he writes about the ‘darker edges of life’, ranging from a pissed-up fighting experience out on the town ('Blood n guts') to a truly chilling account of life inside a mental hospital ('Corridors')”, Andy Carrington, 2013.
