CONTAINED - London Launch
Event Information
Description
Join me as I celebrate the launch of my first 'proper' book of 'poetry', Contained (Hesterglock Press). I'm organising an afternoon of readings featuring three other Walthamstow-based writers - Vanessa Onwuemezi, Emma Hammond and Lizzy Turner.
The event is in the backroom, on the ground floor, of Ye Olde Rose and Crown pub in Walthamstow. Step-free access into the pub and through to the event room.
The event is free but I'm asking those that can afford it to make a donation (£3-£5 suggested) to the wonderful charity, Arts Emergency. Arts Emergency do some amazing work ensuring young people from marginalised backgrounds retain access to creative careers after the destructive effects of austerity. - “We believe passionately that those with the most potential are often the least able to pay for education, the least able to pull favours or access helpful networks, to work for free, or find shortcuts into paid creative and cultural work.” Josie Long, co-founder
Copies of Contained will be available to buy at the event for £10 - cash only on the door - with a portion of the sales also going to Arts Emergency.
See you there!! David x
