L to R: Robin Houghton, Peter Kenny, Rhona McAdam, Catherine Smith, Siegfried Baber
Last Wednesday we kicked off the New Year with a super evening at the Poetry Cafe – more about it here on Poetgal. We’re already looking forward to the next one – will keep you posted!
First week into the New Year we’re back on the road at the Poetry Cafe, or as Peter Kenny eloquently puts it:
“After the orgy of booze-fuelled ribaldry that is December, why not turn over a new leaf in 2015 and make your first social outing one for the soul? Poetry from the outstanding Canadian poet Rhona McAdam, the frankly steamy Catherine Smith, shining new talent Siegfried Baber, plus the multi-prize winning Robin Houghton and myself in the centre of London.”
Yee-haa! Please come, bring your friends and let’s get started on 2015 with some shiny new poetry. Rhona McAdam is over from Canada, so take this opportunity to hear a brilliant talent… and Catherine Smith’s ‘The New Cockaigne’ is a fantastic, rollicking satirical tale in verse.
Free entry, all welcome … we hope to see you there, and will have news of our plans for 2015 and beyond.
With best wishes for a fantastic Christmas and New Year…
We’re planning another Telltale & Friends reading at the Poetry Cafe on January 7th 2015, when one of our guest readers will be Rhona McAdam, a fine Canadian poet whose sixth full-length poetry collection, Ex-ville, is published by Oolichan Books this month.
Rhona spent some years in London and still returns regularly, so we’re delighted she can join us in January.
Meanwhile we’re also hoping to introduce the next Telltale Poet – exciting!
