David Ward’s new book, LEECHCRAFT, is a poetry collection rooted in ancient mythical and folkloric traditions.
With guest readings from poets Colin Watts, Eleanor Rees, Freda Davis and Judy Mazonowicz, and music from Peter Davis.
“These poems are for these times – and as surely will have long lives.” – Kevin Crossley Holland
“Mesmerising… deeply felt, singing poems.” – Natalie Linh Bolderston (The Protection of Ghosts)
“Wraiths in the mist… pinned to the page by acute observations.” – Freda Davis (Write Out Loud)
“Haunting images… alive with sensory detail and evocative imagery.” – Tamiko Dooley (Seasons of Love around the Rising Sun)
This is a free event, and tea and refreshments will be provided.
