David Floyd book launch!

The launch of David Floyd's new poetry collection PLUS open mic. FREE

Come celebrate the launch of David Floyd's new poetry collection 'A Night at the Snooker' and bring a poem too if you'd like to take part in the open mic. UPSTAIRS at the fabulous Trades Hall, Walthamstow. FREE.

In his own words, David writes some poems and sometimes reads them out at events. His poetry combines a dry, sardonic wit and a highly original imagination. He's a trustee of Magma Poetry and has co-edited three issues, most recently the Performance issue. He's also a member of the Wild Thing Poetry collective and host of The Poetry Lounge’s limerick competition. David has been working in community media for over two decades and is Managing Director of Social Spider CIC, the publisher of seven local news publications. Many of his poems are on Instagram - go and have a look!

To give us an idea of how many people are coming along, reserve your places on Eventbrite or you can just turn up on the night.

“David Floyd’s debut poetry collection excels in its sharp observation of the absurd. While Floyd finds plenty of subjects to satirise from office politics to our collective inability to tackle the climate crisis, he does so with a lightness of touch and an unfailing ability to surprise with his brilliant originality.” Lisa Kelly

“David Floyd’s

Writing and performance

Tickles your ribs

And enlightens your Soul

with

Acute poignant truths,

And off beat rhythms

And

Occasionally

Makes you laugh out loud

At life’s quaint and tragic

absurdities”

Abe Gibson
