A Voice Coming from Then Wales Tour
This event on 10th November 2022 at 19:30 has past.
Join us at Ceredigion Library in Aberystwyth for an evening celebrating Jeremy Dixon and A Voice Coming From Then - this year's winner of the English Language Wales Book of the Year Poetry Prize.
A Voice Coming from Then starts with Jeremy Dixon’s teenage suicide attempt and expands to encompass themes of bullying, queerphobia, acceptance and support.
As well as exploring identity, the tragic effects of bullying and the impact of suicide, this collection also includes unexpected typography, collage, humour, magic, discotheques and frequent appearances from the Victorian demon, Spring-heeled Jack.
Copies of A Voice Coming from Then will be available to buy at the event, and Jeremy will be available to sign them!
This event is part of a tour around the bookshops and libraries of Wales. Check the Arachne Press blog for details of all Jeremy Dixon's events. https://arachnepress.com/2022/09/09/a-voice-coming-from-then-on-tour/
“I really admire Jeremy’s ability to be so vulnerable. I felt like he just really put his heart and his whole self into the collection.” - Wales Book of the Year Judges
“These poems are deceptively simple with razor sharp observation, brutal honesty and a deftness of touch that gives space for the reader to understand both what is said and what is left unsaid… beautiful and important and needs to be read.” - Everybody's Reviewing
“…a wonderful mix of truth, tragedy, and triumph. Life is terrible and also it is beautiful. A Voice Coming From Then is also a voice for now, in this sense, and I highly recommend it.” - Buzz Magazine
