On Thursday night upstairs at the City Pride pub
Katy Evans-Bush and friends
celebrated the launch of her truly marvellous poetry pamphlet
Broken
Cities. She is one of the winners of this year's Poetry Business
competition and
Astrid Alben and
John Clegg joined her to read from
their own new work.
I was happy to be there and to meet a few
faces I'd only seen on Facebook before. Unfortunately the roar of trains
outside the pub window blurred my already dodgy hearing and I had put the
aids away because wearing them makes the world invade my head like
Genghis Khan's army.
Never mind - I read the poems live on the page and the poets' voice spoke to me.
And I took some photos.
