Featuring Emma Purshouse.
Come to Mid Wales Arts Centre for an afternoon of poetry and music which is rooted in place: Enjoy Black Country’s Steve Pottinger and Emma Purshouse – 2 exceptional performance poets whose work is both entertaining and thought-provoking; musician Andrew Warren – who along with a Welsh speaker will pay tribute to Caersws’ John ‘Ceiriog’ Hughes; then sit back, laugh and revel in the 2014 Costa Award for Poetry winner Jonathan Edwards – who will read from My Family and other Superheroes, as well as treat us to some of his new work. Nadia Kingsley will be hosting.

Poets, Prattlers and Pandemonialists – (a new show from Pitt, Pottinger and Purshouse)
What happens when three poets who barely know each other decide to put on a show?
Join Dave Pitt, Emma Purshouse, and Steve Pottinger as they meet in a pub somewhere a lot like Wolverhampton and plot their path to fame and fortune. Will they be distracted by beer and scratchings? Will they put the world to rights? Come and find out.
An evening of poetry like you’ve never seen before. May contain language.
Emma Purshouse will be running a workshop on the ‘Poetry of the Black Country’ at Tipton Library between 11am-1pm.
This workshop is to support work being created for the Offa’s Press anthology, The Poetry of the Black Country. Free event.
If you’re a keen writer of Black Country poetry or poetry about the Black Country then you’re welcome to come along.
Please don’t send any poetry in yet as Offa’s Press shall be opening a window for submissions, with full details, from June 1 to July 23.
