Welcome to 2021! How do we lighten this chilly, bleak time of year? Well, this Monday between 6 and 7.30pm the Mary Evans Picture Library’s Poetry and Pictures blog is having a showcase. Gill Stoker set up and curates this beautiful blog, an ideal spot for anyone with a taste for the timeless combination of poetry and images, sometimes in quirky combinations. Gill has given space to several of my poems and I’m honoured to be one of the poets invited to read on Monday.

Arts Destination South Molton in Devon will be our hosts; more details are here and on their Facebook event page. The pandemic being what it is, you can join us wherever you are – please come, it’s free To get the zoom link, just email Alison admin@artsdestination.co.uk

What am I going to read? This might give you a clue … See you there!
