You are cordially invited to a three-course virtual meal tomorrow night, courtesy of the dialectwriters community. I'll be presenting three dishes as a way into talking about my writing and travelling, and conversation will flow. Do join us! dialect.org.uk/events/dialect…
Do you know any one who may like to be a patron or sponsor of CheltenhamPoetryFest ? We have no public funding and whilst we don't pay ourselves, we have poets' costs, venue costs etc - any ideally gratefully received! We can send more information to anyone interested.
Even though the news can often be depressing, it can also be a wonderful source of uplifting inspiration. Join us for an online news flash fiction workshop!
