Launch reading for Caleb Parkin's second collection, Mingle (Nine Arches Press), plus poetry from Tom Sastry and Kaycee Hill. After-party at To the Moon (Midland Road, around the corner), following the reading.
Caleb Parkin, Bristol City Poet 2020 - 22, has poems in The Guardian, The Rialto, The Poetry Review and was guest poet on BBC Radio 4’s Poetry Please. He has three pamphlets and his debut collection, This Fruiting Body (Nine Arches) was longlisted for the Laurel Prize. Caleb tutors widely, holds an MSc Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes and is a practice-based PhD researcher at University of Exeter as part of RENEW Biodiversity. His second collection, Mingle, explores toxicity and intoxications, probing what makes up our world's matter, and how we use it for good or ill. We are implicated in prickly histories and weird futures and the natural world reminds us of its unruliness – as well as our own.
Kaycee Hill, a working-class poet of mixed heritage, completed her MA in Creative Writing at the University of Bristol. Kaycee won the James Berry Poetry Prize and was mentored by Malika Booker. Kaycee’s latest project explores the concept of sonic inheritance. Her debut collection Hot Sauce is published by Bloodaxe.
Tom Sastry is an absolute mingler. He is funny, philosophical, satirical, political, and morbid in all the wrong places. Poems have infiltrated the Guardian and Poetry Review. Books have been PBS pamphlet choice, shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney Prize and Highly Commended in the Forward Prize. He is published by Nine Arches.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
