Autumn Poetry Gigs



Hiya Lovelies! I hope you are adjusting to the change in season and have been reading poetry and buying poetry books  and supporting lots of indie bookshops and poetry publishers for today's National Poetry Day and Saturday's Bookshop Day!


I have been adding gigs to the calendar and layers to my wardrobe in preparation for taking Windfalls out of the Zoom sphere and back to some in person events and I am very much looking forward to sharing the new poems with you in my favourite way... Here are some dates for your diary, on and offline:

Join us for a free festival session online at Knighton Festival between 12.30 and 1pm with poet Susie Wild sharing from her new collection Windfalls first followed by a short Q&A and then novelist Gary Raymond talking about his new novel Angels of Cairo and answering questions from 1 - 1.30 pm.

Cardiff Writer's Circle: Annual Short Story Competition

Here's their round up of the night: Throwback to Monday 23rd June, when we were thrilled to have 12 attendees join us for the Adjudication Event of our annual Short Story C ompetition - the winner and runners-up were announced, received their prizes, and graciously allowed pics to be taken for posterity!
