Anne Caldwell writes :"I grew up in the north-west of England and have been a keen reader all my life. My poetry has been published in a range of anthologies - Poet’s Cheshire (Headland) and The Nerve (Virago) and three books by Cinnamon Press who have also published my first full length collection. My work has appeared in many British magazines including Writing Women, The North, Poetry Wales and Quattrocento.”
She finished an MA in writing poetry at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2007; she performs all over the UK. Her current poetry collection is called Talking With The Dead and is published by Cinnamon Press. She has been short-listed in the Huddersfield Literature Festival Poetry Competition and won a micro-story competition that explores the theme of shoes, set up by Museums and Libraries in West Yorkshire by Cartwright Hall. She won an award to attend the Wired Writing Programme at The Banff Centre in Canada in 2006 which involved staying in Banff for two weeks and then working alongside Canadian writers until April 2007."

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

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.
