Join Oxford Brookes Poetry Centre as we launch thrilling new ignitionpress pamphlets by AV Bridgwood and Meredith MacLeod Davidson.
This event takes place downstairs in the Poetry Society Cafe. Tickets are free, but please note that space is limited. The event, which will feature readings by AV and Meredith and introductions by Isabelle Baafi and Niall Munro, will last around 1 hour and then the cafe will be open upstairs, where drinks will be available to buy. The two new pamphlets will be on sale (alongside other pamphlets from the press's award-winning selection), and AV and Meredith will be available to sign your copies!
