Announcing our new Patron: Carol Ann Duffy

We’re delighted and proud to announce that Dame Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate, has agreed to be our Patron.

Carol Ann is a fantastic supporter of new poetry initiatives and it was her encouragement that sowed the seeds of Telltale Press in 2014. She believes in our idea of being proactive, creating opportunities for poets and seizing the means of poetry production.

It’s a brilliant endorsement of our model and extremely motivational for us that Carol Ann is willing to associate her name with the Press.

These are exciting times for Telltale as we move into our third year – with plans for new members, more readings and more first pamphlets.

 

 

Telltale & Friends – 7th January at The Poetry Cafe

Poetry-lovers, blow away those post-Christmas blues with a cracking night of verse from Telltale Press and Friends!

On Thursday 7th January, Faber’s Jack Underwood and the wonderful Kitty Coles join Telltale poets Peter Kenny and Siegfried Baber at London’s Poetry Cafe to help kick-start the New Year.

So bring your friends and family along, have a drink, or two, or three, and don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to hear four fantastic poets reading from their work. What could be better?

Oh, that’s right – it’s free!

We look forward to seeing you there…and to sharing our exciting plans for 2016.
