Free Event
Join us on Wednesday 14th October, 7-9pm for an evening with local artist and poet S. Reeson, who will be launching a new poetry pamphet, Forest Management.
S. Reeson's powerful poetry is set amongst the trees, exploring themes of trauma and healing, fear and revelation, navigating tensions between control and wilderness against the backdrop of our own personal and emotional landscapes.
Expect an evening of sharings, readings and signings with special guests amongst the welcoming environment of Metal’s home in Southend, Chalkwell Hall.
