Anna Saunders and I both spend a lot of time giving opportunities for poets to read their work, whether online or at the in-Cheltenham festival and we were thinking that it is about time we did something to promote our own poetry. So we are looking for places and events at which we can read either together or individually.
In addition to reading, we can talk about running a poetry festival or the art and trials of writing poetic sequences. We can also offer a workshop with our reading.
We are both experienced readers at online events and in-person. I started my poetry reading career with Michael Horovitz and Poetry Olympics back in the 1990s! You will find a list of some of the places I have read on my performing poetry page . Anna's website is here https://annasaunderswriter.co.uk/
Can you help? Do you run an event that would be suitable? Do you belong to an organization that gives reading slots? Or can you introduce us? If you can, my email is zoe.brooks@googlemail.com
We are happy to travel. We don't even need paying (although it would be nice) - as organisers ourselves we are very aware of the financial pressures organisations are under.
Thanks
Zoe
