PNSeL eNEWS

October events cover areas ranging from SE16, through SE1, SE19, SE4, SE24 to SE10. They range in content from an art and poetry installation inspired by a local railway station to a readings at the London Literature Festival on the South Bank, and a modern retelling of the Ramayana – using light show technology -composed by the poet Daljit Nagra

Poetry Newsletter Southeast London – July 2014 (Issue 83)

PNSeL eNEWS – July 2014 (Issue 83)

PoetryNewsletterSoutheastLondon

July is the month when Poetry International brings the world’s poetry to the South Bank.

There are also more local and intimate events – for example a lecture and reading on Ted Hughes in Greenwich or a rehearsed reading of a poetic drama by Sylvia Plath in Southwark.

Even if the weather is grey, wet and windy, the earth always feels warm by July so one can continue to enjoy the long days inside and possibly out. Hope readers enjoy the summer whatever your poetic or other plans.

If you would like to see further details of the above events in a FREE copy of the July enews or subscribe free for future newsletters (next issue out at end of August for September events), just email ‘free copy’ or ‘subscribe’ to pnsel.enews@yahoo.co.uk

Whether June proves to be ‘flaming’, freezing (hope not) or just fair, the light evenings can be great for going out and enjoying poetry.

There are lots of local events featured in PNSeL eNEWS this month. Regular groups and additional events – including local festivals. There’s also an opportunity to attend a workshop where poets can practise reading their work with a later opportunity to perform it. Or you can enjoy hearing others.

Apart from the eNEWS, other good places to find local poetry activities are libraries, community centres, bookshops and cafés – especially the independents.

If you live, work, study or are interested in Southeast and South London, and poetry, then why not subscribe? It comes out monthly and is FREE. Email pat_ransford@yahoo.co.uk to subscribe or use the form available on our page.
