Venue: Online
Address: Online
Join Indie Press Network publishers: Arachne Press, Renard Press, and Dialect Press for a celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month. Celebrate some Queer poets, and listen to readings and chat queer poetry. The Poetry Salon format is intended to be a place to exchange ideas and have a bit of a gossip, as well as the more traditional readings from featured poets.
To this end, Arachne Press will be revealing the final line up of their forthcoming (October) Queer poetry anthology, ‘Up//Roar: Poems of Queer Resistance’, with readings from Jane Aldous, Simon Maddrell, Arun Jeetoo, Gwenhyfar Ferch Rhys and Rachel Brook, plus Jeremy Dixon, who has a new collection out in June (‘The Beat the Pulse the Wave’) and Hannah Hull whose collection ‘Home is a place that visits me’ was recently published.
Renard Press bring Beth Train-Brown’s ‘Salmacis: Becoming Not Quite a Woman’.
And Dialect Press are introducing Elvire Roberts and her collection ‘Knee to Knee’ written in collaboration with Rachel Goodman
