Bristol launch of This Is The Band

This event on 1st June 2018 at 19:30 has past.

Contact: paulinesewards@hotmail.co.uk

Come along and join us for the launch of Pauline Seward's collection. Published by Hearing Eye, this event will see readings by guest poets Helen Sheppard, Glenn Carmichael, Rowena Knight and Wendy Young.

‘Affectionate, sincere and experienced, these poems inhabit a sensually aesthetic space. They explore and heal divisions of time and opposition. Written with intimate, careful, honesty. You could take these poems with you to hell and back and know you were gifted with trusted companions' - Jude Cowan Montague. Poet, artist and broadcaster.

Pauline Sewards has read her poetry in London, Brighton and Bristol. She has been published by several small-press magazines and online platforms including South Bank Poetry, Prole Magazine, Riggwelter Press and The Journal. Together with Helen Sheppard and Stella Quinlivan, she co-hosts the Satellite of Love poetry and spoken-word events. This Is The Band is her first collection of poems. It is available via http://www.centralbooks.com/publishers/HEARXX/this-is-the-band.html

Helen Sheppard’s poems have been published by the Hippocrates Award Anthology 2017, Voices Along the Road 2018, and by online platforms including I Am Not A Silent Poet and Ink, Sweat and Tears. She has performed at many events in Bristol, and her live poetry was streamed and sung in the galleries during Bristol’s Mayfest.

Rowena Knight was Commended in a Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award. Her work has appeared in many magazines and journals including Magma, Cadaverine Magazine, The Rialto and Cake. Her first pamphlet, All the Footprints I Left Were Red, was published by Valley Press in July 2016.

Glenn Carmichael is a novelist, performer, tutor, host and poet. His novel Still Searching for the Big City Beats was recently reissued by Burning Eye Press. Glenn is a founding member of The Poetry Slam. He has toured with several performance theatre shows and hosted many events in Bristol as well as running workshops.

Wendy Young is an actor and poet based in London and is the author of two poetry pamphlets ‘Oetry’ (London Poetry books) and ‘The Dream of Somewhere Else’ (Survivors Press available in Kindle).
