Behind the Blue Boor: #poetrymondays at the Troubadour

Behind the Blue Door with Blue Door Press poets Pamela Johnson, Jennifer Grigg and Jane Kirwan, plus 20 troubadours with new poems on the open and closed subject of doors.

Blue Door Press is a co-publishing venture involving writers, editors and designers with the aim of producing high-quality, thought-provoking books — fiction, memoir, & poetry. 

 
Last year saw the publication of Stories & Lies bringing together three very different voices:
 
Pamela Johnson, Assoc. Tutor on Goldsmiths’ Life Writing MA, has published three novels, Under Construction, Deep Blue Silence & Taking in Water.
 
Jennifer Grigg moved here from Boston 20 years ago, has researched & written on art & artists, & founded Green Bottle Press in 2015.
 
Jane Kirwan, co-author of Born in the NHS with Wendy French & Second Exile with Ales Machacek, has published a novel & two poetry collections including The Man Who Sold Mirrors.
 
Helping to celebrate Blue Door Press poetry with 20 newly commissioned poems on the subject of doors, doorways, entrances and exits, locked or wide-open doors, old or slightly creepy doorways, porches, garage doors, shed doors, doors from distant memory and doors seen every day, will be Fiona Larkin, Katie Griffiths, Caroline Hammond, David Bottomley, Mary Powell, Helen Adie, Heather Moulson, Steve Boorman, Angela Kirby, Wendy French, Nisia Studzinska, Vanessa Lampert, Mary Mulholland, Audrey Ardern-Jones, Jean Hall, Jan Heritage, Edwina Gleeson, Matt Barnard, Andrew Ball, Susannah Hart, June Lausch, Jennifer Nadel and Karen Rydings.
