Join us for the launch of two fascinating new poetry collections.
'This World a Hunting Is' by Brian Comber and 'Nothing Louche or Bohemian' by Tina Cole and Michael W. Thomas.
There will be readings from each collection, an audience participation Q&A and, of course, the chance to buy copies signed by the poets.
We hope to run a hybrid event with live and Zoom audiences. Zoom details will be posted on this event page close to the launch date.
'This World a Hunting Is', Worcestershire poet Brian Comber's fourth collection, takes its title from a line by Scottish poet William Drummond (1585-1649). Comber delves yet further into his compelling blend of eclectic interests and startling poetic insights. He is equally as comfortable unpicking the homely significance of 'Building A Nest Box' as he is musing on science, history, or art: 'Giotto's Perfect Circle'.

'Nothing Louche or Bohemian' by Tina Cole and Michael W. Thomas is a miscellany box of memories, intense and disconcerting.
'Tina Cole invokes the landscape of her childhood in poems seething with rich imagery and forceful language.'
—Helen Ivory
'Michael W. Thomas's poems are rich with the details of past and present lives. They explore the widest—and wildest— possibilities of those lives with passion and humour.'
—Alison Brackenbury
