Two book launches coming up

As I mentioned before, I’ve been working on typesetting Judith Shaw‘s new pamphlet The Land Called Me Back, Poems from the Cuckmere Pilgrim Path. I’m delighted to say it’s going to be launched on Sunday 26th July at Berwick Church. If you’d like to come along, we’re meeting first at 2pm for a short walk, then at 3pm at the church Judith will talk about the book and read some of the poems.  There are seven churches in this part of the Cuckmere valley and It’s amazing how rich and evocative both the churches and their settings in the landscape have proven to be to poets: both Judith and those who have taken this residency before her, including Oenone Thomas and Antony Mair.

Then on Friday 31st July at the White Rock Hotel in Hastings my fellow Pindrop Press poet Alex Josephy is launching her latest collection, A Little Bridge. Both Judith and I will be reading alongside Alex (from our respective collections), and we’re expecting it to be a really nice evening with fizz and nibbles. So that’s two dates for your diary if you happen to be in the area! Hope you’re able to come along and support us.
