Full Description
Maggie, Bill, Sarah and Barry first read together at a Roundabout Nights event which took place at a Colony exhibition at The Halpern Gallery in October 2018. This reading was a huge success and the four poets agreed to read together again.
In 2023, as part of the Rainham Poetry Festival, in association with Medway River Lit, Maggie, Bill, Sarah and Barry are reuniting for a reading. To commemorate this event The Choir Press in conjunction with Beckit Books is proud to publish a book containing a sample of poetry from each of these four outstanding poets.
