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!

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 :)
