I will be exhibiting at the 142 Gallery in the lovely seaside town of Felixstowe. I shall be working in the gallery using it as a studio as well as a place to hang and sell my paintings created over the past 25 years. I would love to share the experience with you and invite you to join me and splash a bit of paint around, or cut out shapes and make a collage of some of my old sketches and artworks in need of new life. Drop in any time between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm from Thursday 29 June to Tuesday July 4. |
On January 7th, Saturday week, one of my favourite publishers, will be launching the long overdue first collection of poetry by one of my favourite poets in one of my favourite places in an event that I hope will be supported by some of my favourite people.
I have myself written about a trend, in the publishing world, towards a convergence of the arts and this is exemplified by Eye Wild Books whose every production is an art-house fusion of word and visual art. Their backlist now includes poetry by Ian Griffiths, Dave Martin, Peter Watkins, Valerie Denton, Gillie Harris as well as art books - eywildbooks.com.
Rosalynde Price who has, for years, been awaiting the right ‘discerning’ publisher now joins this list with her first collection Heartbane, with artwork by the Suffolk artist Carol Lawrence. Roz is well known in Suffolk Poetry and PoetryAnglia circles where she organised events for many years and still helps organise poetry cafés. Her monthly poetry workshop Panda Poets is now in its twelfth year.
The Royal Harwich Yacht Club, now at Woolverstone near Ipswich, is set in an AONB (area of outstanding natural beauty) and the glass wall of our Orwell Room overlooks its eponymous river. The river is wide here and ambience of the room reflects its changing moods, whatever the weather.
The readings will be presented by Ian Griffiths in conversation with the poet.
The yacht club, though only about four miles from central Ipswich, as represented by the station, is in a different world. The attachment has instructions and routings from the A14 which do not involve driving in the town.
On Tuesday at 2:50pm Radio Suffolk will broadcast an interview with Carol which features this event.
