Weaving the word-wide-web will be:
Stephen Sexton who won the National Poetry Competition and teaches at Belfast’s Seamus Heaney Centre — his If All the World and Love Were Young (Penguin 2019) is on this year’s Forward Best First Collection shortlist.
Hannah Lowe has published two Bloodaxe collections, latest Chan (2015), a chapbook, The Neighbourhood from Outspoken (2019) and a family memoir Long Time, No See which featured as BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week.
Richard Douglas Pennant who divides his time between Cyprus and his native North Wales: his latest collection Lines in the Sky (Cinnamon, 2017) is accompanied by a CD of poems set to music.
All interwoven with pianist/composer Peter Foggitt’s imaginative improvisatory soundscape and sparkling philosophical intrusions/infusions from Perrier-Award-winning writer/perfomer/director Stuart Silver.
