.Sarah Wimbush starts out latest Leeds Lit Fest event by reading from her Stairwell Books collection STRIKE in conversation with Joe Williams


The Leeds Library today to listen to Sarah Wimbush reading from Strike & being interviewed by Joe Williams So much of Sarah’s writing & responses resonated with my experience of living in the Sth Yorks Coalfield in 1984. A powerful combo of words and pictures @leedslit


Head on over to Hyde Park Book Club this afternoon for a cracking double-bill of poetry! We have Hannah Stone's 'The Invisible Worm' at 5pm, with Joe Williams, and Sulaiman Addonia at 7:30pm. And you never know, a beer in the sunshine between the two!

There's still time to get a ticket for 'The Invisible Worm' - me in conversation with poet Hannah Stone, 5pm today at Hyde Park Book Club as part of Leeds Lit Fest.

We're doing things a bit differently for next month's Chemistry. Instead of the usual two headliners, we'll be showcasing some of our recently-published regulars. Plus the usual open mic and optional theme. Come and join us at Chemic Tavern in Leeds. leedsinspired.co.uk/events/chemist…



Great news for Sarah Wimbush. She's a regular and former headliner at Chemistry Poetry, has been a headliner at Words on the Wall, and has done numerous other events with me, most recently at Leeds Lit Fest. And now she's shortlisted for the Forward Prize. So pleased for her :)

I'm on the bill at Ripon Poetry Festival on Saturday 21 Sep, in a double-header with fellow Leeds poet Khadijah Ibrahim. Tickets just £5. There's a lot of other good stuff on that day and over the weekend, including DrKateFox. Check out the programme here. riponpoetryfestival.co.uk/2024prog

Tomorrow is Chemistry day! Come and join us at Chemic Tavern in Leeds for our Regulars' Showcase. leedsinspired.co.uk/events/chemist…
