Open-mic + Guest Poet – 6th September
Thank you so much to all who attended CB1 August, we’ve got a cracking CB1 coming for September with an open-mic and a reading from our guest poet Sue Rose.
Sue Rose is a widely-published literary translator and award-winning poet whose work has appeared in a variety of magazines and anthologies. In 2009, she won the prestigious Troubadour Poetry Prize and, in 2008, the Canterbury Festival Poet of the Year Competition. She has also been commended or placed in competitions such as the National, the Peterloo and the Wigtown. She is a founder member of Scatterlings, a group of poets formed to give readings in the Southeast and beyond.
From the Dark Room was Sue’s first collection, published by Cinnamon Press in 2011, and her pamphlet, Heart Archives, by Hercules Editions in 2014. Her second collection with Cinnamon Press was The Cost of Keys, followed by Scion in 2020.
As always, there will be a handful of open-mic slots so, if you’d like to read alongside Sue on the night, then make sure to put your name down when you arrive! CB1 is a friendly and encouraging space where readers of all levels are welcomed and listened to. Whether you’re an old hand or have never read a poem in public before then we can’t wait to see you on the 6th September! As always with our guest readers, Entry will be £5 and it’s a 18:30 start. We’ll be at the theatre in Town and Gown as usual.
