About this Event
Come celebrate the launch of Angelena's debut poetry collection Under the Lippy (published by Indigo Dreams)- WINNER OF THE INDIGO FIRST POETRY PRIZE. Bring a poem too if you'd like to take part in the open mic. UPSTAIRS at the fabulous Trades Hall, Walthamstow. FREE.
Angelena enjoys writing about ecological, social and women’s issues, and the legacy of childhood. She is a long-time member of Forest Poets and also co-organiser of Station Poets stanza group. Her poetry has been published in various anthologies and magazines, and to complement exhibitions at Dulwich Picture Gallery and William Morris Gallery. Angelena is also a Performance Storyteller of myths and legends, and a hypnotherapist.
Under the Lippy: Joy of first love amongst the blackcurrants; sadness for the young refugee who falls; a strange bird nesting in foreign soil; guilt as an endangered mother shark fights to keep her baby; rage as women – honorary men in wartime – are expected to be ‘pretty in pink’ now as they hit the glass ceiling; changing one’s perspectives throughout life. All under the exasperated eye of Goddess the Creator, who blames God’s poor management skills!
