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.
