LIVE EVENTS
Tuesday 26th September 2023 5.30pm
Jennie Osborne & Rosie Jackson reading from
Signals From The Other and Love Leans Over The Table
Ivybridge Bookshop, PL21 9AB
Jennie and Rosie are very different poets, by road they live a short distance from each other though their writing is two full moons apart. Both are magnificent poets able to eclipse what it means to be a bard. Ivybridge presents a fascinating opportunity to see and hear them together in the airy well stocked surroundings of a bookshop that seeks to specialise. Rosie's Love Leans Over The Table has been described as "passionate and affirming", Jennie's Signals From The Other poems, "brutal in their honesty"; a meeting of friends but a division of labour. Contemporary poetry from two writers who also know how to perform live with nuance. 5.30pm start !!!!

Wednesday 4th October 2023 7.30pm
Alice Cross Centre, Bitton Park Road, Teignmouth, TQ14 9BT
Susan Jordan & Simon Millward, will be launching new collections.
In Simon Millward’s collection, Two Rivers, the confluence of two rivers near where he lives becomes an apt metaphor for his exploration of the natural world and of the ties and bonds of friendship and family in his new collection of poems which 'over and again turn the familiar and largely rural into the strange and wonderful’ (Kevin Crossly-Holland) Simon lives in North Devon and has been co-Chair of Moor Poets for several years. His previous collection, An Invitation, is a collaboration with a photographer friend.
In Susan Jordan's pamphlet Tasting the Sweet Cold, the sensual details of food and clothes are a focus for memories of childhood and growing up. 'This is generous and fearless exploration, and its particularity, so well remembered, will touch the child in every reader.’ (Christopher Southgate) Susan (picture below) lives in Ashburton and has been a long time supporter of Poetry Teignmouth. Tasting the Sweet Cold is her fourth book of poetry.

Tuesday 31st October 2023 7.30 to 10.00pm
Roger Philip Dennis & Steve Day
+ Open Mic
at Uncut, the Phoenix, Exeter, EX4 3LS
Tickets on the door.
Roger Philip Dennis is an enigma. In 2014 he won the prestigious National Poetry Prize and remains among the very finest poets in the UK.... whilst having no collection under his own name. However in 2022 he collaborated with Steve Day. The result, the ‘luscious’ (as described by Pat Fleming) poetry collection Invocations And Portraits. If you missed their Extravaganza concert at Ashburton's Tinner's Moon Festival in May featuring dance, music & film... that's a pity. Nonetheless, Uncut's performance will be featuring new work and 'something special', including Ric White (reeds/flutes) & Eliza Jacobs (cello).
